The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Friday to revoke legal status for nearly 500,000 migrants.
The majority allowed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end a Biden-era program that gave temporary legal status to 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Noem initially terminated the Biden administration’s CHNV parole programs in March. A district court judge blocked the administration from ending the program in April.
“If their parole status is allowed to lapse, Plaintiffs will be faced with two unfavorable options: continue following the law and leave the country on their own, or await removal proceedings,” Talwani wrote in the order. “If Plaintiffs leave the country on their own, they will face dangers in their native countries, as set forth in their affidavits.”

The administration argued in its application that the lower court’s order “stymies the government’s ability to terminate parole grants that the Secretary has determined undermine U.S. interests, and thus it inhibits the government’s pursuit of its foreign policy goals.”
“[T]he district court’s reasoning that parole revocations must be made on a case-by-case, alien-by alien basis contradicts the plain text of the statute and creates a perverse one-way ratchet,” they wrote. “Secretary Mayorkas granted CHNV parole categorically.”
Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, according to the order.
The majority “undervalues the devastating consequences of allowing the Government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending,” Jackson wrote in a dissent.
