Supreme Court revokes legal protection for thousands of migrants with parole in the U.S.

In a surprising decision with immediate impact, the United States Supreme Court has authorized the government of Donald Trump to revoke the humanitarian parole that allowed more than 532,000 migrants—mainly from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela—to remain legally in the country.

With this decision, thousands of families are now exposed to deportation at any moment. The measure suspends a key protection that had been temporarily blocked by a federal judge in Boston.

The humanitarian parole was a temporary 2-year permit for people fleeing crises in their countries.
The Court lifted the judicial block that had protected this permit while the case was ongoing in the courts.
From now on, there is no longer guaranteed legal protection for those who had parole under this program.

Only those who already have approved parole will be able to remain until the deadline, which is April 24, 2025. After that, they must leave the country if they do not find another legal way to stay.

¿What exactly did the Supreme Court decide?

It revoked the order of federal judge Indira Talwani, who had halted the cancellation of the parole.

It gave the green light to the emergency appeal presented by Trump’s legal team.

Two liberal justices (Jackson and Sotomayor) voted against and warned about the serious human consequences.

“The government will be able to alter the lives of half a million people without demonstrating irreparable harm,” wrote Justice Jackson.

¿How many people are affected by this decision?

Nicaragua: 93,070 migrants.
Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela: more than 400,000 additional people.
Estimated total of affected individuals: 532,000 immigrants.

¿What should affected immigrants do now?

Check the expiration date of your parole.
Consult with an accredited immigration attorney.
Evaluate alternative legal options, such as asylum, TPS, or adjustment of status.
Avoid staying without legal status after April 24, 2025.

¿Why is this decision so serious?

This is the first time in modern U.S. history that a humanitarian permit of this type has been revoked en masse. Immigrant defense lawyers describe it as:

“The largest event of mass illegalization in the recent history of the country.”

Furthermore, the decision sets a precedent that could affect other humanitarian programs in the future.

Although the case is not yet closed and will continue its course in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the suspension of the parole is already in effect. This means that those affected lose their legal protection while the trial is resolved.
