Case Summary

This putative class action lawsuit, filed on February 28, 2025, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, challenges the steps the Trump administration has taken to close off various paths into the United States for immigrants. Those paths included "Uniting for Ukraine" (U4U) for Ukrainians displaced by the war with Russia; special processes for nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (CHNV) responding to the natural disasters and/or political strife in those coun…

On March 17, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to address the government's attacks on additional immigration programs and to add additional plaintiffs. The additional programs include "Family Reunification Parole (FRP), for nationals of Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, and Honduras with approved family-based immigrant visa petitions; "Military Parole in Place" (MPIP), which allows U.S. military service-members to seek parole for their parents, children, and spouses; and the "Central American Minors" (CAM) parole process, which provides a pathway for children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to reunite with their parents in the United States.

The plaintiffs sought to represent two subclasses: the "Sponsor Subclass" includes all individuals with pending applications to sponsor a beneficiary for any humanitarian parole process, and the "Immigration Benefits Subclass" includes all individuals who have received humanitarian parole through humanitarian parole processes, including CHNV, U4U, FRP, OAW, MPAP, and CAM. They alleged that the government's actions violate the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment. They sought a declaration that the humanitarian parole processes are lawful, an injunction prohibiting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from continuing to close the availability of parole, and vacatur of the recent agency actions to the contrary.

On March 17, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction and a stay of the defendants' termination of humanitarian parole processes and moratorium on adjudicating any application for an immigration benefit that would permit the parolees to extend their lawful presence in the U.S. The motion was subsequently supported by an amicus brief filed by New York, 14 other states, and the District of Columbia.

The plaintiffs moved for class certification on March 21, 2025, and the defendants filed a memorandum opposing class certification on April 4, 2025.

On March 27, 2025, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, adding more individual plaintiffs. They subsequently filed a motion for a supplementary preliminary injunction and stay of defendants' termination of humanitarian parole processes for foreign nationals to gain entry to the United States.

On April 13, the plaintiffs notified the court that DHS continued to send the “Notice of Termination of Parole” message en masse to an unknown number of parolees and non-parolees (including native-born U.S. citizens, noncitizens with green cards, and others). The plaintiffs' notice to the court also included information that on Friday, April 11, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs stated that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem had “determined that Afghanistan no longer continues to meet the statutory requirements for its TPS5 designation and so she terminated TPS for Afghanistan.” TPS for Afghans was expected to end on May 20.

On April 14, Judge Talwani granted the plaintiffs' March 27 emergency motion for relief. 778 F.Supp.3d 311. First, the court paused the government’s termination of parole processes for CHNV pending further court order; this pause applied specifically to people who had already been granted parole under the CHNV programs and were still within their original parole period. Second, the court paused, pending further court order, all individualized notices to noncitizens from CHNV that informed them that their parole is being revoked without a case-by-case review. Judge Talwani based her decision primarily on the total absence of individualized due process in the government's actions. She reasoned that "the early termination, without any case-by-case justification, of legal status for noncitizens who have complied with DHS programs and entered the country lawfully undermines the rule of law." Judge Talwani rejected government arguments challenging jurisdiction based on the political question doctrine and related arguments.

Judge Talwani also granted class certification on April 14, 2025. 2025 WL 1099950. She described the class as follows:

"All individuals who have received a grant of parole that is subject to the Termination of Parole Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, 90 Fed. Reg. 13611 (Mar. 25, 2025), rescinding individual grants of parole on a categorical and en masse basis, except: (1) those individuals who voluntarily left, and remain outside, the United States before the issuance of that Notice; and (2) those individuals who choose to opt out of the class to seek relief in separate litigation." 778 F.Supp.3d 311.

On April 18, the government filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, seeking review of the district court's substantive and class certification orders. After the First Circuit denied a stay of the orders, the government filed a stay application in the Supreme Court of the United States. On May 5, the First Circuit again denied the government's emergency motion to stay Judge Talwani's April 14 orders. 2025 WL 1505688.

On May 28, back in the district court, Judge Talwani granted in part plaintiffs' March 17 emergency motion for a preliminary injunction and stay of administrative action. 784 F.Supp.3d 437. The court granted class-wide preliminary relief to plaintiffs paroled into the U.S. under categorical parole programs and to those supporting individuals present under the MPIP program. They enjoined:

The suspension of re-parole adjudications for Parole Program recipients;
The suspension of initial MPIP parole adjudications; and
The suspension of immigration benefits adjudications for Parole Program recipients.

That same day, Judge Talwani issued an amended order granting class certification, certifying a class of all individuals who: 2025 WL1514125.

Received parole subject to the mass rescission in 90 Fed. Reg. 13611;
Received humanitarian parole under programs allowing re-parole and have pending re-parole applications;
Have pending applications for other immigration benefits after receiving such parole, or have pending applications to support family under MPIP.

On May 30, in the Supreme Court, a majority of the justices granted defendants' requested stay, over the noted dissent of Justice Jackson, joined by Justice Sotomayor. 145 S.Ct. 1524.

The U.S. Supreme Court held:

"The April 15, 2025 order entered by the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, case No. 1:25-cv-10495, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the sending down of the judgment of this Court."

Justice Jackson's dissent noted the significant human cost in lifting the stay and the comparatively minor harm shown in the government's filings. She found the government's harm-related showing to be "patently insufficient."

That same day, following the Supreme Court's order, defendants filed a motion to dismiss in the district court, arguing that the Supreme Court's stay permitting the Secretary's termination of CHNV parole grants to proceed pending appeal warranted dismissal of the complaint.

On June 16, in the district court, plaintiffs moved for partial summary judgment challenging the mass truncation of CHNV parole grants.

On June 24, Judge Indira Talwani ordered the government to inform the court of the steps it had taken to resume adjudicating requests for immigration benefits for the class certified in this case. Judge Talwani reviewed the repeated efforts during May and June to obtain information from the government about the website virtual agent and other forms of communication regarding any ongoing suspension or resumption of adjudications. Judge Talwani then ordered that "Defendants shall confirm that the guidance for USCIS adjudicative directorates is complete and has been implemented, and shall confirm that Defendants have completed all other implementation efforts necessary for processing holds to be lifted and for all applicants to be properly informed of the same." Judge Talwani reviewed the proceedings and updated her order on June 30. On July 1, the government provided the required documentation on the steps taken.

On July 18, plaintiffs filed a supplemental motion for an order to show cause and additional relief, requesting that the district court require defendants to explain why they did not process any diversity visa applications despite their May 28 order and additionally report on their adjudication of these applications. Three days later, Judge Talwani issued an order compelling defendants to file a response to plaintiffs' supplemental motion with the requested information.

Defendants responded as required on July 28, 2025, and additionally submitted a notice of appeal to the First Circuit on the district court’s May 28 order, including both the injunctions and the class certification.

Judge Talwani denied plaintiffs' March 17 emergency motion for preliminary relief, specifically for individuals who were not currently in the United States.

The case was argued in the First Circuit on July 29 in front of a panel of 3 judges.

The First Circuit, in an opinion written by Judge Gelpí on September 12, 2025, vacated the district court’s stay of the termination notice and remanded for further proceedings. The opinion states that plaintiffs did not demonstrate a strong likelihood of success in establishing that the INA requires termination of grants of parole under the CHNV program to occur on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the First Circuit concluded that the government gave a sufficient explanation of the terminations, and that their interpretation of who counts as having “been…paroled into the United States” is plausible (those with the current status of being paroled versus plaintiffs' reading that includes anyone who has been paroled, whether or not that parole has been terminated). The opinion acknowledged the risk of irreparable harm to individuals whose parole status was suddenly revoked, but asserted that, absent a strong showing of likelihood of success, a stay could not be upheld. 152 F.4th 272.

In the wake of the government shutdown, defendants filed a motion to stay proceedings in the district court on October 1. Upon weighing the competing interests of the parties, being the capacity of defendants to continue the case and the harm that might befall the plaintiffs, Judge Tilwani denied the motion to stay on October 9.

On October 15, plaintiffs petitioned for a panel rehearing in the First Circuit, arguing that the panel of judges made their decision based on a misconstruction of legislation as it applied to the case at hand. Continuing to face the limitations of the government shutdown, defendants filed a motion to stay the deadline to file a response to plaintiffs' petition on October 22. That motion was promptly denied by the court the same day, so the government submitted its response on November 4.

On November 18, the First Circuit denied the plaintiff's petition for a panel rehearing, then submitted the formal mandate on its September 12 decision eight days later.

Back in the district court, on October 28, Judge Talwani set forth the next steps in light of the First Circuit’s panel decision — plaintiffs were to file a renewed motion for partial summary judgment no later than November 10, and defendants were to file their opposition no later than November 24.

On November 5, the plaintiffs submitted a motion to expedite discovery into the defendant’s compliance with the court’s May 28 orders that required defendants to provide preliminary relief to plaintiffs paroled into the U.S. under categorical parole programs and those under the MPIP program.

Plaintiffs filed their renewed motion for partial summary judgment on the deadline date of November 10, again asking the court to vacate the mass truncation of CHNV parole and associated employment authorizations. In their supporting memorandum, they asserted that Secretary Noem failed to consider prior policies, reliance interests, and obvious alternative solutions when cutting immigration programs. Amongst other issues, plaintiffs argue that Noem exceeded her statutory authority as Secretary and violated due process.

After filing a motion to submit a third amended complaint, on December 29, 2025, the plaintiffs also submitted an emergency motion seeking a TRO, a preliminary injunction, and/or a "stay under 5 U.S.C. § 705 of Defendants’ unlawful truncation of all remaining valid grants of humanitarian parole issued, on a case-by-case basis, to approximately 15,000 immigrants from seven Latin American countries (Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, andHonduras) through various Family Reunification Parole processes." Plaintiffs estimated that without this relief, 10,000 to 12,000 individuals within the targeted immigrant groups (more than a quarter of whom are children) will lose their legal status on January 14, 2026, pursuant to Secretary Noem’s actions.

On January 10, 2026, after a hearing on plaintiffs' motion, the district court granted a 14-day TRO, staying the "Termination of Family Reunification Parole Processes for Colombians, Cubans, Ecuadorians, Guatemalans, Haitians, Hondurans, and Salvadorans, 90 Fed. Reg. 58032 (Dec. 15, 2025) insofar as it revokes previously granted parole and work authorization issued to noncitizens paroled into the United States pursuant to the FRP programs prior to the noncitizens’ originally stated parole end dates." 2026 WL 77330. The court reasoned that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their claim that defendants did not provide immigrants with adequate written notice of the termination of the FRP as required by 8 C.F.R. § 212.5 (e)(2)(i). Defendants had published the Federal Register Notice online, which the court found was likely insufficient due to the uncertainty of all immigrants' ability to access their USCIS online accounts. The court further ordered defendants to produce their administrative record by January 13, 2026, and file any opposition to the remaining aspects of plaintiff's motion – the preliminary injunction and/or stay of en masse truncation of FRP – by January 15, 2026.

Upon lapse of the 14-day TRO and receipt of the administrative record, Judge Talwani granted a preliminary injunction enjoining defendants from implementing the termination policy. The court found that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims, and thus should be granted preliminary relief, after concluding that Secretary Noem improperly understated the reliance interests of FRP parolees and "overstated countervailing concerns regarding insufficient vetting and fraud where these concerns were unsupported by the Administrative Record and the Federal Register Notice itself." Furthermore, the court found that plaintiffs would face irreparable harm without this preliminary relief as immigrants were faced with two choices: "(1) separate from those families, communities, and jobs, leave the United States, potentially abandon or moot their APA claims challenging the Notice, and return to countries in which they no longer have homes and jobs; or (2) remain in the United States, begin accruing unlawful presence here, and risk consequences ranging from detention and removal, forfeiture of their priority date for an immigrant visa, to multi-year bans on readmission." 2026 WL 184883.

This case is ongoing.

138	Judge Indira Talwani: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered: On May 28, 2025, this court entered an Order 107 staying Defendants' actions suspending adjudications of applications for non-parole immigration benefits, initial parole, and re-parole as to individuals who received parole through certain parole programs. On June 5, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a Notice and Motion for an Order to Show Cause 116 informing the court that Plaintiffs' counsel have received multiple communications from class members reporting that the USCIS website messaging system is still stating that USCIS "has placed an administrative hold on all benefit requests filed by aliens who are or were paroled into the United States under the UFU, CHNV, or FRP processes[,]" that USCIS "has placed an administrative hold" on all such requests "[d]ue to the Jan. 20, 2025 Executive Order[,]" and similar statements. That motion remains pending.The court subsequently ordered Defendants to provide updates concerning, inter alia, the steps they have taken to resume adjudicating requests for immigration benefits, as required by this court. See Elec. Order 119 ; Elec. Order 121 ; Elec. Order 127 . Defendants have filed limited responses. See Response 120 ; Response 124 ; Response 132 . Most recently, this court ordered Defendants to confirm, no later than June 30, 2025, that the guidance for USCIS adjudicative directorates is complete and has been implemented, and to confirm that Defendants have completed all other implementation efforts necessary for processing holds to be lifted and for all applicants to be properly informed of the same. See Elec. Order 133 .On June 26, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a Reply in Support of their Motion for an Order to Show Cause 137 contending that, despite this court's May 28, 2025 Order 107 staying the February 14 Davidson Memorandum, Defendants are continuing the suspension of adjudications for immigration benefits applications filed by individuals who received parole through the Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) and Family Reunification Parole (FRP) programs, as well as through the parole programs for noncitizens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela (the CHNV parole programs), and that the status quo ante has not been restored. Specifically, Plaintiffs point to language in the Alfonso-Royals Memorandum stating that processing will only resume "once USCIS has completed the additional vetting required for the parolees individual request to identify any fraud, public safety, or national security concerns." Defendants' response to the court's Order 133 due June 30, 2025, shall respond to the court's Order 133 and shall also respond to Plaintiffs' Reply 137, including (1) notifying the court of the process Defendants are implementing for "complet[ing] the additional vetting required for... parolee's individual request[s]" (emphasis added); (2) explaining why, if directed at individuals rather than the categorical programs, the vetting is not occurring as part of the adjudication of the requests but is a prerequisite to adjudicating those requests; (3) notifying the court of how many individuals' "vetting" has been completed since the court's May 28, 2025 Order 107 ; and (4) providing a copy of the guidance for USCIS adjudicative directorates referenced above. In light of the additional information due, Defendants' time to respond is extended to July 1, 2025., (SEC) (Entered: 06/30/2025)	June 30, 2025	June 30, 2025

See Pls.' Mem. 3-4 118 .To properly consider that motion, which remains pending, the court has ordered Defendants to provide updates concerning, inter alia, the steps they have taken to resume adjudicating requests for immigration benefits, as required by this court. See Elec. Order 119 ; Elec. Order 121 ; Elec. Order 127 ; Elec. Order 138 . Defendants have filed limited responses. See Response 120 ; Response 124 ; Response 132 ; Response 139 . On July 18, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for Order to Show Cause and for Additional Relief 150 stating that, despite this court's May 28, 2025 Order 107 staying Defendants' suspension of adjudications, "processing of diversity visa applications of class members remains paused by Defendants' own public admission."

Plaintiffs refer to a news article that states that Defendants represented, as recently as July 16, 2025, that adjudications of immigration benefit applications for U4U parole beneficiaries were on "administrative hold." See Mem. ISO Supp. Mot. 9 152 . The language of Defendants' reported statement mirrors the language of the Davidson Memorandum, which suspended benefits adjudications and which was stayed in relevant part by this court's May 28, 2025 Order 107 .The Supplemental Motion further stated that Plaintiffs' counsel have "received multiple inquiries from class members indicating that, in the weeks since the Court issued its Orders, Defendants have not effectuated the Court's ruling, including with respect to the adjudication of diversity visa applications." Id.; see also Emily Martin Decl. ¶¶ 9-15 [151-5] (describing steps individuals have taken with respect to their diversity visa applications without successfully having their applications adjudicated).
