Judge halts expedited deportations of parolees amid legal challenges

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from using expedited removal processes on migrants who entered the U.S. legally under humanitarian parole, potentially limiting ICE courthouse arrests and affecting the administration's deportation efforts. The ruling emphasizes the legality of migrants' rights to due process and could temporarily halt the deportation of hundreds of thousands of parolees, including many from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua.

"Biden Administration's Alleged Secret Flights of Migrants into US Raise Security Concerns"

Claims that the Biden administration is secretly flying unvetted migrants into the country are unfounded. The administration has exercised its parole authority to admit people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection disclosing the number of arrivals from these countries each month. While the program has been criticized for lacking transparency, migrants are vetted for eligibility, and those admitted under parole have no path to citizenship. The administration has granted entry to at least 1 million people using parole, but reports of secretive flights have been refuted as "categorically false" by a White House spokesperson.

Border Parole Complicates GOP Spending Standoff

Senate negotiators are close to reaching a deal to fund Ukraine in exchange for border policy reforms, but are facing a major hurdle over the president's parole authority to allow migrants into the country. Republicans want to limit the president's ability to grant parole, arguing that it has worsened the crisis at the border, while Democrats and the Biden administration say broad parole authorities are needed to manage the border and incentivize migrants to use lawful immigration channels. The issue threatens to derail months-long negotiations over immigration changes and aid to Ukraine, with Senate Republicans demanding enforcement mechanisms and limitations on parole powers.
