Overview

• Attorney General John Sauer has formally requested the Supreme Court to lift an injunction issued by Judge Indira Talwani halting the removal of CHNV migrants' humanitarian status.
• The CHNV program, established in 2022 under the Biden administration, allowed up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. for two-year stays due to human rights concerns.
• The Trump administration argues that Judge Talwani's decision improperly limits executive authority over immigration enforcement.
• Judge Talwani ruled in April that expedited removal policies do not apply to migrants legally admitted under the CHNV program, suspending removals that were set to begin on April 24.
• The Supreme Court's decision on whether to lift the injunction will determine the immediate fate of 532,000 migrants currently protected under the program.
