As many as 500,000 migrants have lost their right to temporarily live and work in the United States after the Supreme Court let the Donald Trump administration immediately strip their legal right. Migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela have been affected by this ruling.
Despite two dissenting opinions, the high court allowed the Department of Homeland Security to end the parole programs that had granted temporary legal status to migrants from four countries.
Two of the court’s three liberal justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, publicly dissented.
By giving nod to the Trump administration, the Supreme Court put on hold Boston-based US District Judge Indira Talwani’s order halting the administration’s move to end the immigration “parole” granted to 532,000 of these migrants by Joe Biden.
