Two of the justices, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented in the decision.
According to Fox News, the decision from SCOTUS stays the lower court order that blocked Trump from removing temporary protected status from over 500,000 immigrants. The stay is temporarily as lower courts work out an appeal. But the removal of the protections opens those who were admitted into the US under the program up to deportation.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented in the decision. The court decision marks a large win for the Trump, as a large part of his agenda and campaign was to push for the deportation of those who came to the US illegally under the Biden administration.
The CHNV program, or parole program, was expanded under the Biden administration to the point where the immigrants were being allowed into the US at the rate of 40,000 a month. The program, which was much more limited under previous presidents, allows for foreign nationals to come to the US for "extraordinary and temporary conditions" because of natural disaster and other emergencies.
The decision to widen the scope of the program was taken by executive action under Biden, however, US District Judge Edward Chen had ruled against the Trump administration using executive power to end the protections for those that came to the US under the program.
US Solicitor General John Sauer requested that the Trump administration to revoke the protected status of the foreign nationals under the program and said that Chen had improperly used the judiciary's authority in the lower courts.
"The district court’s reasoning is untenable," Sauer wrote, adding that the CHNV program "implicates particularly discretionary, sensitive, and foreign-policy-laden judgments of the Executive Branch regarding immigration policy."
