According to the information, it concerns migrants from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who were previously allowed to stay in the USA for a limited time, as well as apply for other forms of immigration protection.
Judge Indira Talwani previously blocked the Trump administration's ability to abolish the "parole" program for hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans. The administration has asked the US Supreme Court to suspend her decision.
Talwani, an appointee of former Democratic President Barack Obama, dismissed the Trump administration's claim that the suspension of the "parole" program programs is within the broad scope of its authority to manage immigration policy.

As the judge noted, federal law still requires agencies of the US Department of Homeland Security to comply with the long-standing procedure for granting or denying the "parole" program and other immigration benefits.
We are pleased that the court has once again justly recognized the harm that arbitrary government decision-making has caused to innocent people
The decision was made as a result of a lawsuit challenging the termination of processing of applications from Ukrainian, Afghan, Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan migrants who either wanted to obtain a permit to enter under the procedure of conditional early release, or have already received this status and want to stay.
