The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to end the immigration program of President Biden’s administration that prevented the deportation of illegal aliens.
President Donald Trump’s administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court, asking the justices to allow the federal government to end humanitarian parole for over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sought to revoke the extension of the protected status that expired in April.
District Judge Indira Talwani blocked the administration from enacting an early ending to the temporary legal status of these migrants, saying that the government’s explanation for ending the program was “based on an incorrect reading of the law.”
Solicitor General John Sauer stated in his filing, “The Secretary’s decision whether to designate, extend, or terminate TPS implicates sensitive judgments as to foreign policy and, in this case, the ‘national interest’—a discretionary determination that Congress expressly committed to her judgment.”
“The district court has nullified one of the administration’s most consequential immigration policy decisions,” Solicitor General Sauer wrote.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For justices of the Supreme Court as they consider the administration’s emergency request.
- For Solicitor General Sauer as he defends the authority of the president and homeland security secretary to change the parole program.
- For President Trump and Secretary Noem to be discerning as they work to remove illegal aliens from the U.S.
