Overview

  • The Supreme Court granted an emergency stay of a lower court injunction, clearing the way for Homeland Security to revoke parole status for about 532,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans.
  • A federal judge in Massachusetts had ruled Secretary Kristi Noem lacked authority to end the Biden-era CHNV program without conducting individual case reviews.
  • President Trump issued an executive order on his first day in office to terminate all categorical parole programs, prompting Noem to announce in March that existing parole grants would expire by April 24.
  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, joined by Sonia Sotomayor, dissented, warning the move could inflict devastating consequences on migrants’ lives and constitute the largest mass illegalization event in modern U.S. history.
  • The ruling follows a pattern of the Supreme Court upholding challenges to Biden-era immigration policies, including recent decisions on temporary protected status for Venezuelans.
