The Supreme Court has backed the Trump administration's efforts to end humanitarian protections for over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, exposing them to deportation. This decision has significant implications for these communities and raises concerns about the remaining legal protections for those previously under humanitarian parole. Immigration advocates have expressed both shock and resignation at the ruling, emphasizing the impact on families and individuals who will lose their legal status and face potential undocumented status amidst an already challenging legal environment for immigrants.
"This was another blow to our immigrant community," said Jeremy Barousse of Amigos De Guadalupe. "Humanitarian parole has been a part of federal immigration law for decades."
Huy Tran, executive director of SIREN, expressed disbelief over the ruling, stating, "We're talking about half a million people who had legal status here in the country who now are on their way to be actually becoming undocumented."
