The Supreme Court just gave President Trump a huge victory for the deportation of over 530,000 illegals here in the US, which were protected by a parole program created by Joe Biden.
In today’s emergency order, the high court lifts the ban on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s revocation of this parole program which applied to illegals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
A lower court activist judge had ordered that parole couldn’t be revoked en masse, but had to be on a case-by-case basis.
Here’s the news:
Here’s more from Bloomberg:
The Supreme Court let the Trump administration immediately strip the legal right to temporarily live and work in the US from as many as half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Over two dissents, the high court cleared the Department of Homeland Security to end so-called parole programs that gave migrants from those four countries temporary legal status. The justices put on hold a federal trial court order that had blocked the cancellation while litigation went forward.
The order marks the second time less than two weeks that the justices have cleared the way for possible deportations of hundreds of thousands of migrants. It follows the court’s May 19 order allowing DHS to end legal protections for 350,000 Venezuelans under a different program. The decisions are bolstering efforts by the Trump administration to aggressively evict migrants — including some people who came to the US legally.
As is often the case with emergency orders, the court gave no explanation.
Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, saying the court “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.”
Roughly 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela entered the US under the Biden programs, typically for a two-year period. It’s unclear how many remain in the country under that status.
In blocking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from revoking the programs, US District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston said federal immigration law appears to require that parole be revoked on a case-by-case basis, not categorically.
US Solicitor General D. John Sauer, the Trump administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, told the justices that making individualized determinations would be a “colossal undertaking.”
What a great victory for Trump. That’s half a million people right there who should go ahead and self-deport, because their days of living here illegally are over.
