Federal Court Temporarily Blocks Termination of Family Reunification Parole (FRP)

January 10, 2026 — A federal judge has issued a temporary court order preventing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending the Family Reunification Parole (FRP) program.

What Does This Mean?

• FRP parole and related work authorization remain valid for now.

• DHS is temporarily barred from terminating FRP.

• This order is not permanent and may change.

The court paused DHS’s plan to end the FRP program—previously scheduled for January 14, 2026—after raising concerns that parole recipients were not given adequate notice.

Important Reminders for FRP Beneficiaries

• This is a temporary legal development, not a final decision.

• Individuals currently on FRP should consult with an experienced immigration attorney as soon as possible.

• Do not travel, file applications, or attempt to change status without first receiving legal advice.

Our office is closely monitoring this case and will continue to provide updates as new information becomes available.
