Supreme Court Backs Mass Deportation of Migrants: Half a Million Face Expulsion

Supreme Court Greenlights Deportation of Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants The United States Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to begin the deportation of over 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This decision overturns a lower court's temporary block on the policy change. The high court's ruling has significant implications, potentially affecting nearly one million people. ABC News Senior Washington Reporter Devin Dwyer noted the magnitude of the ruling, stating, "This is a very significant ruling in terms of the number of people impacted." The ruling effectively ends the humanitarian parole status granted by the Biden administration to these migrants. The dissenting justices, including Justices Katanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, expressed concerns about the potential harm to families who had legally entered the country under the humanitarian parole program. Justice Jackson's dissent highlighted the administration's actions as "undervaluing and devastating" for these families. The Trump administration's move to revoke this humanitarian parole is a significant shift in immigration policy, raising concerns about the potential humanitarian crisis and the legal challenges that may follow. The coming weeks will likely see the beginning of the deportations, unless the affected individuals can secure alternative legal status.
