Overview
- U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston issued a preliminary injunction late Saturday.
- The order prevents DHS from terminating conditional entry for relatives from Cuba, Haiti, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
- Talwani found DHS, led by Secretary Kristi Noem, provided no evidence of fraud and did not assess whether beneficiaries could feasibly return to their countries.
- The family‑reunification programs let U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents sponsor relatives to live in the United States while immigrant visas become available.
- The ruling, part of a class action by immigrant‑rights advocates, follows a two‑week restraining order that postponed a planned Jan. 14 shutdown announced by DHS on Dec. 12.
