Homeland Security asks Supreme Court to OK end to humanitarian parole program
The Trump administration is back at the Supreme Court again seeking an emergency order allowing it to categorically revoke humanitarian parole for more than 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
Solicitor General John Sauer argued in a petition to the justices that a lower court has "nullified one of the Administration's most consequential immigration policy decisions" and hamstrung Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's lawful authority to revoke an immigrant's status without judicial review.
Sauer claimed that the Immigration and Nationality Act gives the secretary broad power to terminate parole whenever in her opinion "the purposes of such parole have been served." Lower courts have said she can only terminate parole on a case-by-case basis.
The court called for a response from a group of plaintiffs challenging the policy by May 15.
