US Supreme Court backs Trump move to end ‘parole’ status for over 500,000 migrants

US Supreme court lets Trump strip 'parole' status from half a million migrants from four countriesThe court’s unsigned order paused a previous ruling by Boston-based Judge Indira Talwani, who had blocked the administration’s plan to end “humanitarian parole” for 5,32,000 migrants—a status granted under President Joe Biden.

The US Supreme Court Friday allowed the Trump administration to revoke the temporary legal status of over 500,000 migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua, backing President Donald Trump’s broader efforts to increase deportations.

The court’s unsigned order paused a previous ruling by Boston-based Judge Indira Talwani, who had blocked the administration’s plan to end “humanitarian parole” for 5,32,000 migrants—a status granted under President Joe Biden. The decision could now expose many to swift deportation while the case continues in lower courts.

Immigration parole is a form of temporary permission under US law to be in the country for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit”, allowing recipients to live and work in the United States.

Trump ended these programmes through an executive order on January 20, the day he returned to office. The Department of Homeland Security moved to cancel the two-year parole grants in March to facilitate faster deportations.

In a separate case earlier on May 19, the top court also allowed the administration to end temporary protected status (TPS) for 350,000 Venezuelans, also been granted by Biden.
