The Supreme Court will allow the government to begin removing temporary immigration protections from a group of about 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The unsigned order on Friday halts, for now, a lower court injunction that stopped the government from ending the program while the case continues. It is the second time in recent weeks the Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to end temporary immigration protections while those moves are being challenged in court.
The Biden administration granted temporary parole to large groups of immigrants from the four countries who met certain criteria, allowing them to seek work authorization and other legal protections. In March, the Department of Homeland Security canceled the mass parole approval, as the Trump administration ramps up its efforts to crack down on mass immigration.
Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, two members of the court’s liberal wing, publicly dissented from the court’s decision.
