A divided Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way, for now, for the Trump administration to revoke the temporary legal status of more than 530,000 migrants from four countries who have been allowed to live and work in the United States while their immigration cases play out.
The ruling is the second time in recent weeks the high court has given Trump officials permission to terminate programs that protect immigrants fleeing countries wracked by war or economic turmoil. Earlier this month, the court allowed the administration to revoke temporary protections that have allowed nearly 350,000 Venezuelans to live and work in the United States.
Legal challenges to each of the Trump administration’s action will continue in lower courts, and could eventually reach the Supreme Court for a full hearing on the merits.
For now, the justices are allowing two of the president’s most aggressive moves to deport large numbers of migrants who during the Biden administration had been given permission to live and work in this country after fleeing harsh conditions at home.
