The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court’s permission to revoke temporary legal status for over 500,000 immigrants, a program initiated by the Biden administration. This temporary protection enables around 532,000 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to live and work in the United States for up to two years. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is spearheading the effort to terminate this program.
A ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani determined that the administration cannot revoke each individual’s protective status without a personalized assessment. In response, Solicitor General D. John Sauer contended that the judge’s decision undermines a critical immigration policy of the administration. He further argued that federal judges lack the authority to challenge such matters under the Immigration and Nationality Act, asserting that Noem possesses significant discretion concerning immigration decisions, and that the law does not permit judicial review of these determinations.
This legal filing is part of an ongoing series of cases the Trump administration has presented to the Supreme Court, prompted by lower court rulings that have blocked certain policies. Additionally, a similar case regarding the temporary protected status for another group of Venezuelans is also awaiting decision from the court.
