Trump is moving to cancel the legal residence for half a million immigrants

The day after the administration of the President of the United States Donald Trump he moved to cancel temporary legal residences to over half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguansi and Venezuelani, asked an agents to defense of immigration rights from a federal judge to Saint Francisco to postpone two protection decisions.

The case of San Francisco is one of the most of 12 legal actions aimed at curbing Trump’s efforts to expel millions of immigrants from the United States, at a time when federal immigration officials have tried to intensify their efforts to expel unregistered immigrants. The White House has already canceled the legal status of hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have obtained a temporary residence permit, on the pretext that some of them threaten US national security.

Legal protection allows people from turbulent countries, such as Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ukraine, to live and work legally in the United States, on condition that they passed a security exam and obtain a financial sponsor. However, the measures adopted by Nayyoud last month will expire for some Venezuelans, who will exhibit about 350,000 people at risk of deportation in early April and hundreds of thousands of others later next month and after this year.

Cuba agreed to receive a deportation trip per month, while Venezuela and Nicaragua refused to receive flights. All these three countries in the United States and Haiti has also accepted many deportations.

Racist set

A defense organization for immigrants and a group of Venezuelani have requested temporary protection holders from the judge in California to postpone the decisions of Minister Naim until the Court would have taken into consideration their case, according to which Nayyu had violated the administrative procedures and acted with a racist prejudice in the dilling the protection extensions granted during the element of the former president Joe Biden.

The lawyers representing the owners of temporary protection El “National Alliance for Temporary Protection” claim that the sudden resolution of this situation will damage incapable to families, as well as many holders of the temporary protection of the Venezuelans who work as teachers, workers and suppliers and who will have to face the risk of immediate deportation. They quote the immigrants Anti -Venezuelani and Haiti of Trump during the campaign and comments of Nayywan who compared a little Venezuelan with the members of the band and “fum” in evidence of discrimination.

However, federal officials rejected the accusations of discrimination and replied that Nayyu was acting as part of his ministerial powers. They argue that the program, which lasted for decades, has allowed some immigrants to remain in the United States indefinitely. During the presidential campaign of 2024, President Trump and his allies accused the Biden administration of expanding the scope of temporary legal protection and other inappropriate programs, in light of his relationships with the large number of immigrants who arrive at the southern border.

Federal lawyers say that the delay in the end of the protection will mainly hinder the administration’s decisions regarding the situation of temporary protection at national level, which claim that the court does not have the authority to do. They also argue that the justification of Minister Nayyim for not having allowed them to remain in the country is not based on racial prejudice, but rather to protect the national interest of the United States. Like the effort of the administration to justify the deportation trips to El Salvador, Naim claimed that the members of the Venezuelan band “Trin de Aragoa” were among the Venezuelan citizens who have gone through the borders in recent years.

Further legal causes

The cause filed in California, as well as other legal causes in Massachusetts and Meryland, adds more barriers to the Trump administration and its efforts to end the main parts of the legal protection, which was approved by the congress and was signed by the former president George Bush Senior to become a law, allowing the acceptance of immigrants by some countries that have assisted national disasters, have enrolled the conflicts. exceptional installation.

Venezuelan is the largest category of temporary protection status in the United States, as they count about 600,000 people who have escaped, like millions of others from the domain of the Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro.

In addition, about 500,000 Haiti are now qualified to obtain a temporary protection situation after the assassination of the president in Haiti in 2021, which led to the collapse of the government and the killing of thousands of people from bands that control a large part of the country and some Haitian immigrants obtained the protection after the flood of 2010.

The conflict is taking place at a time when the White House, led by Trump, was placed by Venezuelan immigrants and Haiti in the heart of his campaign to emigrate.

In recent weeks, President Trump has used a rare power dating back to the time of the war in 1798, known as “law of foreign enemies”, to expel Venezuelan immigrants in El Salvador without following the necessary legal procedures. He and his officials of the Administration have entered into a strong topic with the federal judge who guided these deportations, pushing the conflict to the margins of a constitutional crisis in the United States.

In February, the administration also canceled an 18 -month extension to protect the temporary protection program for Venezuelalan, which was decided before Biden left his assignment. He also partially canceled another extension of the 18 months of Haiti immigrants. The officials did not refer to the fact that they would completely finish the program.
