Barbed razor wire atop territory line fence in San Ysidro Chris Stone Times of San Diego President Donald Trump s administration appealed the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to end humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from four countries setting them up for possible deportation The emergency appeal asks the justices to halt a lower-court order keeping in place temporary legal status for more than people from Cuba Haiti Nicaragua and Venezuela The Republican administration argues that the decision wrongly intrudes on the Department of Homeland Protection s authority The district court has nullified one of the administration s the bulk consequential immigration approach decisions Solicitor General John Sauer wrote The order from U S District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston blocked the Trump administration from putting an early end to the settlers temporary legal status Her ruling in mid-April came shortly before their permits were due to be canceled opening them up to removal from the country Talwani who was appointed by Democratic President Barack Obama disclosed that people in the operation faced the option of fleeing the country or staying and menace losing everything She stated the cabinet s explanation for ending the activity was based on an incorrect reading of the law Sauer argued that the judge was instead wrong on the law including her finding that any revocations of parole must be made on a case-by-case basis He argued that ending the initiative early allows the federal leadership to remove people from the country more hastily in line with the Trump administration s strategy goals The development is the latest in a string of crisis appeals the Trump administration has made to the Supreme Court countless of them related to immigration The governing body appealed the court to strip temporary legal protections from Venezuelans last week and it remains locked in legal battles over its efforts to swiftly deport people accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador under an th century wartime law called the Alien Enemies Act Trump promised on the campaign trail to deport millions of people who are in the country illegally His administration has also sought to dismantle policies from President Joe Biden s Democratic administration that created new methods for people to live legally in the U S generally for two years with work authorization Biden used humanitarian parole more than any other president employing a special presidential authority in effect since Beneficiaries included more than Cubans Haitians Nicaraguans and Venezuelans who flew to the United States with financial sponsors on two-year permits since late with authorization to work Advocates have called the Trump administration s move to end the project unprecedented and argued that it violated federal rule-making
