The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal Thursday asking the Supreme Court to allow it to end a Biden-era immigration parole program that provided legal status to over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Solicitor General John Sauer argued the program, which granted entry to migrants on “humanitarian” grounds, was wrongly shielded by a lower court order. U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, had ruled last month that migrants in the program were entitled to case-by-case reviews before losing their status. Sauer claims the judge improperly interfered with a decision Congress reserved for the executive branch.
Sauer asked the justices to temporarily lift the ruling so the administration can revoke parole protections while litigation continues. He also called on the court to reverse what he described as a “destabilizing trend” of district judges issuing nationwide injunctions on immigration policy.
This is one of several immigration-related emergency matters pending at the high court, including Trump’s attempt to rescind temporary protected status for 600,000 Venezuelans and invoke wartime powers to deport migrants under the Alien Enemies Act. Another case involves Trump’s challenge to birthright citizenship for some U.S.-born children, which is set for oral argument next week.
