Supreme Court Clears Trump to Strip 500,000 of Legal Status

The Supreme Court let President Donald Trump’s administration immediately strip the legal right to temporarily live and work in the US from as many as half a million people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Over two dissents, the high court cleared the Department of Homeland Security to end so-called parole programs that under Joe Biden’s presidency gave migrants from those four countries temporary legal status. The justices put on hold a federal trial court order that had blocked the cancellation while litigation went forward.
