The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 to allow the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for around 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV), overturning lower court injunctions that had blocked their deportation.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the end of TPS protections and work permits for 532,000 CHNV migrants, effective April 24, but a federal judge blocked the order, leading to the administration's Supreme Court appeal.
The Trump administration argued Biden's parole programs created an unmanageable population without a path to legal status. The Supreme Court's decision lifts the injunction, allowing DHS to proceed with terminating TPS while litigation continues.
Liberal Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor opposed the ruling, while the majority sided with the administration's enforcement authority.
Trump celebrated the decision, vowing stricter immigration policies, while critics condemned the lack of a 30-day notice requirement for affected migrants. The ruling aligns with Trump's broader deportation agenda.

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration authority to revoke temporary protected status (TPS) for approximately 500,000 illegal aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV), overturning a lower court's injunction that had blocked their deportation. In March, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem posted a formal notice in the Federal Register ending the work permits and deportation protections for around 532,000 CHNV migrants, effective April 24. However, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani of Massachusetts blocked the order on April 10, preventing the administration from stripping legal status from those already admitted under the parole system. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit upheld the injunction, prompting the Trump administration to appeal to the Supreme Court.

"Reviewing the results of those mass-parole programs, the new Administration concluded that they 'at best traded an unmanageable population of unlawful migration along the southwest border for the additional complication of a substantial population of aliens in the interior of the United States without a clear path to a durable status,'" Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued in his filing. Fortunately, the high court's order lifted the stay of the lower court in a decisive 7-2 ruling on Friday, May 30. This allowed the DHS to proceed with terminating TPS protections while litigation continues in the 1st Circuit. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, two of the three liberal justices of the court, dissented.

Trump and his allies laud the Supreme Court decision

During the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump frequently condemned former President Joe Biden and his immigration policies, arguing they allowed individuals from high-risk nations to settle unchecked in American communities. The president and his allies hailed the decision of the high court. "We had a great decision from the Supreme Court, thank goodness," Trump said. "That was very important." Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller also echoed a similar statement. "You can't have a situation where the Biden administration can fly in half a million illegal aliens in the last 24 months, and we're having a conversation about, 'Oh, maybe they should get to stay for life. Good news is the airplanes travel in two directions," Miller said. Meanwhile, some immigration advocates who backed the parole program had hoped that, even if the Supreme Court permitted the administration to terminate the programs, the justices would at least mandate the 30-day advance notice Noem included in her March announcement. However, the ruling on Friday imposed no such requirement. Follow InvasionUSA.news for more stories about illegal immigration in America.
