The future of More than 500,000 migrants hangs from a new decision made this Friday by the US Supreme Court. It will allow the Donald Trump administration to revoke the temporary legal status granted by the management of Joe Biden.
This is the “Parole” program, which would impact groups of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela that live in the US, and granted them residence and temporary work permit.
According to Reuters, the measure leaves hundreds of thousands of people exposed to possible accelerated deportation. The humanitarian “parole” program was implemented in 2022 and expanded in 2023, offering migrants from the four countries the possibility of entering for two years, provided they had a financial sponsor and overcome security controls.
Donald Trump may revoke the temporary legal status of more than half a million immigrants
According to The New York Times, “the program allowed more than 530,000 people to enter the country with authorization to reside and work temporarily.” The Biden administration defended the initiative as a way to discourage irregular border crossings and offer a safe and orderly alternative to those who fled from various crises.
The decision of the Supreme Court, issued on May 30, did not include a written argumentation and It was adopted in response to an emergency appeal presented by the Trump government. Liberal judges, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayorthey disagree.
In appointment with USA Today, Jackson said most “underestimated the devastating consequences to allow the government to alter in a precipitous way the lives and means of subsistence of almost half a million non -citizens, while their legal claims are pending. ”
Trump’s administration, when assuming power, ordered the end of all categorical “Parole” programs. Last January 20, The Republican signed an executive order to end these programs, and in March, the Secretary of National Security, Kristi Noemannounced the revocation of permits, shortening the deadlines of the beneficiaries.
According to ReutersThe Government argued that “revoking the status of Parole would facilitate the inclusion of migrants in an accelerated deportation process known as ‘Expedited Removal’.” The measure was challenged in court by groups of migrants and their American sponsors, who claimed violation of the federal law, which demands reviews case by case.
The federal judge Indira Talwaniof the Massachusetts district, failed in April that the law “does not allow the general termination of the program, but requires an individual review.” On May 5, a panel of the Court of Appeals of the First Circuit, based in Boston, supported Talwani’s decision to temporarily block mass revocation.
