The US Supreme Court has lifted an injunction against its effort to revoke legal status for over 500,000 migrants who were part of the Biden-era CHNV program.
This ruling is another victory for the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only judge to dissent.
Back in April, President Donald Trump attempted to revoke the legal status of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the country legally. A federal judge later placed an injunction on the move.
The Trump administration brought the matter before the Supreme Court earlier this month to seek emergency relief. The White House argued that Talwani “has nullified one of the Administration’s most consequential immigration policy decisions” and insisted that the presence of those who entered the country under the program was deemed” contrary to U.S. interests.”
The matter is still being litigated in court, but the administration can proceed with revoking the legal status of those who entered the US under the CHNV program.
