The Supreme Court gives the greenlight to Trump revoke the temporary legal status of 500,000 immigrants from 4 countries
Trump secured another victory while locked in lawfare.
Today, Trump snagged another win. The Supreme Court let Trump revoke the Biden era’s program of granting temporary legal status to 500,000 immigrants from 4 countries: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
This is hot on the heels of the court allowing the administration to revoke temporary legal status from about 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in a different case earlier this month.
This new decision clears an Obama-appointed district judge’s hurdle. Massachusetts-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani’s decision is now on hold while the legal battle continues.
Then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas granted two-year parole to people during the surge at the America-Mexico border. The CHNV parole programs let people enter and stay in America. They needed to pass a security check and have a sponsor in the United States who could house them. Now they have to go back.
The Supreme Court granted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's emergency application that ends the Biden program. Trump can immediately begin deporting 400k immigrants. Liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, according to the brief order.
The news shocked and devastated left-wing immigration activists.
The Supreme Court has effectively greenlit deportation orders for an estimated half a million people, the largest such de-legalization in the modern era. Today’s decision beats the record they set just two weeks ago when they allowed the termination of TPS for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans living in the U.S.
I cannot overstate how devastating this is: the Supreme Court has allowed the Trump Administration to unleash widespread chaos, not just for our clients and class members, but for their families, their workplaces, and their communities. While we grieve with these communities today, we remain resolved in our fight for the dignity they deserve.

President Donald Trump and his allies celebrated the ruling during his event with Elon.
“We had a great decision from the Supreme Court, thank goodness,” Trump said. “That was very important.”
Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that the Supreme Court’s decision was a "victory for the American people" that corrected an error made by the Biden administration to allow "poorly vetted aliens" into the country.
