The Supreme Court has temporarily endorsed the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle a humanitarian parole program initiated by President Biden, which offered protection to approximately 500,000 migrants from Haiti, Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. The 7-2 ruling is framed within a broader context of immigration policy conflicts and follows a previous decision impacting Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor expressed deep concerns about the repercussions for noncitizens, while the administration defended its actions, claiming necessary authority to revoke such protections in response to criticisms of the program's implications.
