On May 30, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal protections for over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

These individuals had been granted humanitarian parole under President Biden, allowing them to live and work legally in the U.S. The Court’s unsigned emergency order lifted a lower court’s injunction that had blocked the mass termination of these protections.
