The Trump administration can’t immediately revoke the deportation protections and work permits of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. legally under a Biden-era program, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its plan to terminate the legal status of those migrants on April 24. The administration had warned those affected by its announcement that they would need to self deport by that date or face arrest and deportation by federal immigration agents.

But Talwani suspended the deportation warnings the government had sent and prohibited officials from revoking the legal protection, known as immigration parole, that the Biden administration granted to more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.

    But can the court stop his Gestapo from kidnapping these people anyway and trafficking them for torture, slavery, imprisonment and possibly execution? Because they’re just doing it regardless of what the courts rule.

    So?

    He’ll deport them and get a slap on the wrist and a strongly worded letter from a judge that he’ll ignore.

    And no one will do anything about it.

      He won’t ignore the letter, he’ll frame it and put it above his toilet.

    It is disgusting that the Orange Turd gets to decide what happens to these people. He should be in jail instead of in the white house.

    Judges also ruled that he couldn’t black-bag legal residents and citizens and send them to prison camps in El Salvador. He ignored the judges and did it anyway. Judges then said he had to return the people he kidnapped. He ignored them again.

    A law is only a law if it is enforced. Until I see that fat orange fuck being perp walked through the Rose Garden in handcuffs, laws don’t mean shit.

    Trump: deports them anyway.

    Autocrat gonna autocrat. He’s pretty much established he doesn’t care what the courts say, and his ICE Stasi don’t care either.

      I think the SCOTUS are starting to push back but now realising they can’t enforce shit. And they gave this dude immunity last year.

        Yep they have zero power or authority now. I’m sure the DoJ would help enforce any rulings that they agree with. They’ll just ignore any they don’t.

    Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants, because nobody is actually doing anything to stop him other than meekly posting on social media and waving some signs around. Democracy and the rule of law was always sketchy at best in the US, but it’s been dead for months now. And no amount of adorable weekend protests that are sanctioned by the cops are gonna change that.

    If you aren’t getting tear gassed, shot at, and imprisoned, you’re being allowed to throw a tantrum to keep you from doing anything useful, and your actions are performative at best.

    What a judge says is apparently not relevant for the Drumpfster or this regime in general.

    At this point, any negative ruling against the regime means the same as vibes.
