The programme is targeted by citizens of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Haiti, officials say.
Lawyers for the Trump administration filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to revoke the situation of temporary immigration among hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaraguan citizens living in the United States.
In an emergency petition Thursday, U.S. Attorney General D. John Sauer wrote that nine justice should curb the federal judge’s decision to suspend the government’s decision to end migrant parole granted to Venezuela, Cuban, Haiti and Nicaraguans.
In his Supreme Court filing, Sauer-led Justice Department lawyers argued that the lower court order “supported important immigration policies carefully calibrated to block illegal entry,” reverting essentially “democratically recognized policies that were significantly characterized by the November election,” allowing President Donald Trump to return to his white home.
A new Trump administration petition argued that the courts had no jurisdiction to overturn Homeland Security Secretary Christie Noem’s revocation of immigration status for those individuals.

“In doing so, the district courts were very engaged in the review council to deny illegal entry, meaninglessly curtail important immigration policies that were carefully calibrated to undermine the privileges of large administrative sectors, and to revoke democratically recognized policies that were significantly characterized in the November election.
Only the Constitution and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 gives Noem and other administrative bodies the task of deciding whether to “not a court” or not to determine whether to determine a maximum of 532,000 aliens that were not recognized and not tested to remain in the country,” the petition state.
Since taking office, the Trump administration has filed multiple emergency petitions with the U.S. Supreme Court, claiming that lower court judges have exercised large control over the administrative division, violating the separation of constitutional authority provisions.
Trump called for the end of these programs in an executive order signed on January 20th. The Department of Homeland Security moved to end the program in March, including shortening the two-year parole grant for around 400,000 people.
The administration said revoking parole status would make it easier to place foreigners in the fast truck deportation process known as “quick removal.”
The plaintiffs are a group of individuals, a group of parole and sponsors, suing administrative authorities, alleging that the government violated federal laws governing agency actions. Talwani in April wrote that the law governing such parole does not allow for the program’s blanket termination and instead requires a case-by-case review.
