State Attorney General Letitia James filed a brief last week urging a court of appeals to uphold an order blocking the feds from “mass-terminating humanitarian parole” for more than 500,000 immigrants.
James, along with a coalition of 15 other state attorneys general and the City and County of San Francisco, filed the motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit on July 2. The group is defending the “Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela” (CHNV) parole program, established by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2022 and 2023 to allow people from these countries to enter the country legally for humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit, according to a press release from James’ office.
