WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Trump administration to proceed with terminating temporary protections for more than 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela under the CHNV parole program.
The program, created during the Biden administration, had granted temporary legal status to migrants fleeing violence if they had a sponsor and passed security checks. Many were permitted to stay in the U.S. for up to two years.
In January, President Trump ordered the termination of all categorical parole programs, calling them inconsistent with his immigration policy. The decision was initially blocked in April by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who said early termination without individualized review “undermines the rule of law.”
But the Supreme Court issued a stay on Talwani’s order, siding with Solicitor General D. John Sauer, who argued Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has broad authority under immigration law.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented sharply, writing the court “botched” its assessment and warning of the “devastating consequences” for the affected immigrants.
