Trump Administration Requests Supreme Court to Revoke Legal Status for 530,000 Migrants

  • Trump administration seeks to revoke parole for over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • The request aims to overturn a ruling that blocked this revocation by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani.
  • Legal status under Biden's humanitarian parole program is at stake after Trump declared the program unlawful.

The Trump administration has formally requested the U.S. Supreme Court to assist in revoking the legal status of over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This move challenges a prior ruling from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who had blocked the administration's plan to end the humanitarian parole initiated by President Biden. The administration argues that this judicial decision conflicts with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) authority over immigration matters, according to Reuters and The Hill.

Solicitor General John Sauer, in the administration's appeal, claimed the lower court improperly intervened in an executive policy decision. The case revolves around the humanitarian parole program that allowed migrants to live and work legally in the U.S. for two years, which was put in place to alleviate illegal crossings at the southern border. The Trump administration contends this program exceeds presidential authority and should not have been implemented, according to India Times and CBS News.

The origins of the humanitarian parole program stem from efforts made by the Biden administration to provide a legal pathway for migrants facing dire conditions in their home countries. The program has been called into question as the Trump administration aims to terminate it and has cited the need for expedited removal processes for those affected. Multiple legal challenges have continued to complicate these immigration efforts, as stated by Le Monde and The Hill.
