Washington, DC — Today’s Supreme Court decision on Svitlana vs. Noem allows the Trump administration to circumvent a district court ruling and now makes nearly 500,000 people who are here under a legal parole program, immediately deportable.
According to Vanessa Cárdenas, Executive Director of America’s Voice:
“This is a deeply destructive ruling that throws our immigration system into greater disarray and inflicts needless cruelty on hundreds of thousands of people. At the urging of the Trump Administration, the Supreme Court has stripped legal protections from half a million individuals who followed the rules, passed background checks, and were granted permission to live and work in the United States. This shameful decision hands a blank check to an administration hell-bent on punishing immigrant communities— regardless of the damage it does to our nation’s values, economy, or basic human decency. “
