Fox News White House correspondent Peter Dousey asked White House Press Director Carolyn Leavitt about whether President Donald Trump’s administration could successfully expel half a million foreigners recognized by his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama-appointed federal judge, has suspended Trump’s termination of the Biden administration’s fraudulent parole program known as CHNV, which allowed Chuban, Haiti, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan citizens to reside in the United States.
“This is this chnv. President Biden has allowed over 530,000 people from Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti. [and] Venezuela joined the United States under this CHNV program. He did that with the strokes of the pen,” Doocy began. So are you guys going to give all the individual hearings to 530,000 people and people, or are you just trying to expel them? ”
“This morning I spoke to the White House lawyers’ office about this, as another fraudulent district court judge is trying to stop the administration’s efforts to expel the U.S. with this latest injunction,” Leavitt said. “We fight this in court, and ensure that every individual actually used by the previous administration to enter our country illegally, abuse the country’s parole system and quickly track their legal status as they were totally abused for these illegal immigrants. They were totally abused.” (Related: Exclusive: Trump admins benefit from thousands of aliens on the Terrorist Watchlist)

Tarwani Domination The sudden revocation of legal status given to these non-citizens “without case-by-case justification” is a violation of the rules of the law, adding that “the balance between stock and public interest is emphasised on supporting preliminary relief.”
Biden launched the CHNV program for Venezuelans in October 2022 and expanded in January 2023 to include Cuba, Nicaragua and Haitian citizens. The program gives non-citizens a two-year permit to live and work in the United States if they have gone through the review process if they have not previously been illegal in the United States.
However, Republicans accused the previous administration of using CHNV to allow immigrants that the US had not been allowed as a way to mitigate the record border crisis at the US-Mexico border. As a result, more than 200,000 citizens from four countries were jumped into the US under the program, allowing them to avoid the southern border entirely.
An internal report from August 2024 revealed a massive scam from the CHNV program. It found that 100,948 CHNV forms have been completed by just 3,218 sponsors, with 24 of the 1,000 most used Social Security numbers using more than 1,300 IP addresses in Tijuana, Mexico. Biden’s Department of Homeland Security suspended the program as a result of an audit and later announced that it would not renew parole for CHNV registrants in October 2024.
The Trump administration completely ended CHNV in March and began sending termination notices to non-citizens who entered the US through the program. If the judge had not thwarted Trump’s efforts to end CHNV, those registered would have been ordered to leave the United States or leave the deportees by April 24th.
The Trump administration’s Hawkish actions on borders and immigration have significantly reduced the number of illegal border crossings. Border Patrol agents counted around 7,180 intersections along the US-Mexico border during March, marking the lowest ever recorded border intersection in a month.
