A federal judge who recently blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to end an immigration parole program from the Biden era is drawing fresh scrutiny, not only for her ruling but also for her political background and ties to a controversial group linked to communist China.
Judge Indira Talwani, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts by President Barack Obama in 2013, issued a recent decision halting the Trump administration’s move to terminate the CHNV program, which has provided temporary legal status to more than 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The U.S. Supreme Court stepped in and sided with the Trump administration, allowing it to revoke temporary legal status for approximately 500,000 migrants.
As conservatives voice concerns over the ruling, newly surfaced records are shedding more light on Talwani’s political background, prompting fresh questions.
