The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump can terminate the temporary legal protections for approximately 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. An appeal of President Trump’s order is still pending, CNBC noted. However, the high court’s ruling, for now, allows the Trump administration to strip the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for some migrants living in the United States. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Supreme Court allows Trump to deport over 500,000 Biden admin 'parolees' from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Until that order, the group of immigrants who had left their home countries because of conflicts there, or unsafe living or working conditions, were allowed to remain in the United States for up to two years. “I suppose, that it is in the public’s interest to have the lives of half a million migrants unravel all around us before the courts decide their legal claims,” Jackson wrote sarcastically in her dissent. She said that the Supreme Court’s ruling, which did not explain the grounds for the decision, “undervalues the devastating consequences of allowing the Government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending.” “While it is apparent that the Government seeks a stay to enable it to inflict maximum predecision damage, court-ordered stays exist to minimize — not maximize — harm to litigating parties,” Jackson wrote. The ruling comes nearly two weeks after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke the status of nearly 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. who are allowed to remain under the Temporary Status Program.

But they were abruptly upended by the Trump administration in February, when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem attempted to end protections for a specific group of Venezuelan nationals, arguing they were not in the national interest. U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer asked justices earlier this month to allow the administration to proceed with its decision to revoke the status for the migrants, accusing U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of improperly intruding on the executive branch’s authority over immigration policy. “The district court’s reasoning is untenable,” Sauer told the high court, adding that the program “implicates particularly discretionary, sensitive, and foreign-policy-laden judgments of the Executive Branch regarding immigration policy.”
