Overview
On Thursday, the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court to revoke temporary legal status for over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This comes after U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani blocked the early termination of their humanitarian parole. The administration argues that the court's decision encroaches on executive authority concerning immigration policies. The rule allows these individuals to stay and work in the U.S. under special conditions established by the Biden administration. Advocates describe this move as unprecedented and legally dubious, noting it puts many at risk of deportation.
