The Supreme Court allows President Donald Trump to complete the parole humanitarian for 500,000 people from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua – Chicago Tribune
Washington – The Supreme Court has once again paved the way for the Trump administration to eliminate the temporary legal protections of hundreds of thousands of immigrants, pushing the total number of people who could be newly exposed to deportation to almost a million.
The judges raised an order of the lower court which maintained the humanitarian protections of the conditional liberations in place for more than 500,000 migrants from four countries: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The court also authorized the administration to revoke temporary legal status from around 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in another case.

Trump amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants in Ohio with legal status within the framework of the humanitarian parole program removed and ate pet during his sole debate with President Joe Biden, according to legal documents.
His administration filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court after a Federal Judge of Boston blocked the administration’s push to end the program.
Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson wrote in dissent that the effect of the court order is “to have the life of half a million migrants disintegrate around us before the courts decide their legal allegations”. Judge Sonia Sotomayor joined dissent.
Jackson echoed that the American district judge Indira Talwani wrote by judging that the end of legal protections early would leave people with a striking choice: fleeing the country or risking losing everything. Talwani, appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama, noted that the revocations of parole could be made, but on a case -by -case basis.
His decision came in mid-April, shortly before the cancellation of permits. A court of appeal refused to remove his order.
The ordinance of the Supreme Court is not a final decision, but this means that the protections will not be in place while the case takes place. He is now going back to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.
The Ministry of Justice argues that the protections have always been supposed to be temporary and that the Ministry of Internal Security has the power to revoke them without interference from the court. The administration affirms that Biden has granted parole en masse and that the law does not require put an end to an individual base.
Taking each case individually would be a “gargantuan task” and slow down the government’s efforts to put pressure on their withdrawal, explained the solicitor general D. John Sauer.
Biden has used humanitarian parole more than any other president, employing a special presidential authority in force since 1952.
The beneficiaries included the 532,000 people who came to the United States with financial sponsors since the end of 2022, leaving countries of origin “of instability, dangers and deprivation”, as migrant lawyers declared. They had to go to the United States at their expense and have a financial sponsor to qualify for the designation, which lasts two years.
The Trump administration’s decision was the very first mass revocation of the humanitarian parole, migrant lawyers said. They called on the movements of the Trump administration “the biggest mass illegalization event in modern American history”.
The case is the last in a series of emergency calls that the administration launched to the Supreme Court, many of which are linked to immigration.
The court took on the side of Trump in other cases, in particular by slowing down his efforts to quickly expel the Venezuelans accused of being gangs in a Salvador prison under a 18th century law, called the Act on Extraterrestrial Enemies.
