Supreme Court Approves Significant Immigration Policy Change
Supreme Court Ruling and Policy Shift
The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to dismantle a Biden-era program protecting over 500,000 migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. The unsigned order “effectively overrules lower court decisions” blocking the rollback.
Background and Legal Battle
The Biden program granted “temporary legal status” to migrants facing humanitarian crises. Lower courts required “individualized assessments,” but the Supreme Court’s stay favors “broad executive discretion” in immigration matters.
Impact and Administration’s Position
The Trump administration argues the program “invites abuse” and seeks to restore immigration enforcement. The ruling affects migrants who had passed background checks and were living and working legally.
