The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration permission to revoke the legal status of the more than half a million immigrants who flew into the U.S. from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela via Joe Biden’s disputed mass parole program.

President Trump, on his first day in office, issued an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to terminate the Biden regime’s “categorical parole programs,” which had granted those noncitizens protections from deportation from the United States and allowed them to work in the U.S.

A group of pro-illegal immigration plaintiffs challenged the the Department of Homeland Security’s  revocation of the programs in federal court in Massachusetts.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ordered the Trump administration to resume processing applications from noncitizens in the program who were seeking work permits. Talwani said the Trump administration couldn’t revoke parole and work authorization en masse because such actions required case-by-case determinations.

The 1st Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, prompting the Trump administration to turn to the Supreme Court.

In an apparent 7-2 decision, SCOTUS overruled the decision today while the legal battle makes its way through the courts.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, saying the majority of the Supreme Court had “plainly botched” the ruling.

“Even if the Government is likely to win on the merits, in our legal system, success takes time and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory,” Jackson wrote in the dissent. “The balance of the equities also weighs heavily in respondents’ favor,” Jackson added. “While it is apparent that the Government seeks a stay to enable it to inflict maximum predecision damage, court-ordered stays exist to minimize — not maximize — harm to litigating parties.”
