A Federal judge of Boston (Northeast) suspended on April 14, the Trump administration of a special program instituted under the Democratic Program of Donald Trump, Joe Biden, on April 14, authorizing the nationals of these four nationalities to reside in the United States for two years due to the human rights situation in their respective countries.
This regime has enabled some 532,000 migrants to enter the country. Without the suspension pronounced by the decision judge by the Minister of Internal Security, Kristi Noem, ending there, they would have lost their right to stay in the United States on April 24.
This magistrate considered that the Trump administration had interpreted the law in an erroneous manner by applying an accelerated expulsion procedure targeting foreigners who illegally entered the country, but not those who are legally there under government programs.
The Trump administration therefore asks the Supreme Court, the majority of conservative, to lift the suspension pronounced by this federal judge, accusing him of having “canceled one of the most important decisions of the government in matters of immigration policy”.
She also accuses him of “encroaching on the prerogatives of executive power in the management of the immigration system”.
President Donald Trump erected the fight against illegal immigration in absolute priority, evoking an “invasion” of the United States by “criminals from abroad” and communicating abundantly on the expulsions of immigrants.
But his massive expulsion program has been thwarted or slowed down by multiple court decisions.
