A lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s cancellation of humanitarian parole programs for certain immigrants and refugees is expanding.
Humanitarian parole programs have been used by presidential administrations for decades to streamline temporary U.S. entry for immigrants facing war or other challenges in their home countries.
The Trump administration moved to cancel a host of Biden-era programs for Ukrainians, Afghans, Haitians, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. Last month, rights groups filed a lawsuit on behalf of some of those recipients and their U.S. citizen sponsors.
A new filing this week expands the case to include additional plaintiffs, including Ukrainian nationals living in the U.S., along with active-duty U.S. military personnel and veterans. The case goes to court later this month.
