Justices ruled to pause a lower court’s order that barred the Trump administration from getting rid of Biden-era regulations granting temporary protections to some migrants, giving them legal status in the U.S. and work authorization for two years while their asylum claims are pending if they pass a security check and can show they have someone to provide them with housing in the U.S.

The parole program, known as the “CHNV” program, was available for immigrants from Cuba, Haita, Nicaragua and Venezuela, with the Trump administration reporting some 532,000 people were granted protections before the Trump administration announced in March it was terminating those programs.

District court Judge Indira Talwani ruled Wednesday the Trump administration could not unilaterally get rid of people’s protections while the litigation moves forward, and can only remove individual people’s protections on a “case-by-case basis.”

The Supreme Court’s majority did not provide any reasoning for their decision to let the Trump administration move forward with the deportations.

Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the ruling, with Jackson writing the Trump administration “plainly failed” to prove they’d be harmed if the court had kept the protections in place, and the majority’s ruling will result in “devastating consequences” from “allowing the Government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending.”
