"I spoke to White House counsel's office about this this morning because, obviously, another rogue district court judge is trying to block the administration's mass deportation efforts with this latest injunction," Leavitt said. She also slammed the Biden administration, accusing former officials of abusing the U.S. parole system "to fast-track legal status" for illegal immigrants.
"We will continue to focus on deporting as many individuals as we can," Leavitt added.
Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote in her order blocking the Trump administration that each of the more than 530,000 migrants needed to have an individualized case-by-case review.

Under a Biden-era program known as CHNV, migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela were allowed to enter the U.S. via humanitarian parole after receiving advance travel authorization. The program permitted up to 30,000 nationals per month to enter the country.
Republicans opposed the program and urged the Biden administration to shut it down. Several House lawmakers signed a letter at the time to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calling for an end to CHNV as the U.S. faced "an unprecedented crisis" at its southern border.
