White House criticizes 'rogue' judge upholding parole program 'completely abused' by migrants
Karoline Leavitt expressed the administration's frustration with "rogue" judges after it was blocked from revoking the legal status and work permits of more than 530,000 migrants.
On Tuesday, Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Leavitt why President Joe Biden was allowed to establish the program "with the stroke of a pen" but Trump was being stopped from ending CHNV the way it started.
"We will continue to focus on deporting as many individuals as we can," Leavitt added.
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security and the Trump administration said Talwani's ruling essentially prohibits Trump from using his own executive authority to revoke parole that Biden granted when he was in office.
"It is pure lawless tyranny," a Trump administration official told Fox News.
Under a Biden-era program known as CHNV, migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela were allowed to enter the U.S. via humanitarian parole after receiving advance travel authorization. The program permitted up to 30,000 nationals per month to enter the country.
Republicans opposed the program and urged the Biden administration to shut it down. Several House lawmakers signed a letter at the time to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calling for an end to CHNV as the U.S. faced "an unprecedented crisis" at its southern border.
