The Trump administration scored another win at the Supreme Court on Friday as the high court issued an order granting the administration's application for a stay in another immigration-related case. In March, the administration, via the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), issued a notice terminating the Biden-era CHNV programs that allowed allegedly vetted individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the United States temporarily under humanitarian parole.
The stay issued by the Supreme Court places on hold a mid-April ruling by Massachusetts District Court Judge Indira Talwani that:
- Blocked DHS from enforcing the March 25 termination policy
- Prohibited any attempt to revoke CHNV work permits tied to that parole
- Barred the government from proceeding with removals based solely on that policy

Justices Jackson and Sotomayor dissented from the Supreme Court's Friday ruling.
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed a lower court order that blocked the Trump administration from deporting roughly 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision is a near-term victory for President Donald Trump as he moves to crack down on border security and immigration priorities in his second term.
The Supreme Court decision stays, for now, a lower court ruling that halted Trump's plans to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for some migrants living in the U.S., which allows individuals to live and work in the U.S. legally if they cannot work safely in their home country due to a disaster, armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions."
Once again, this is not yet a ruling on the merits. Rather, it is a procedural ruling that places the lower court decision on hold pending disposition of the case on appeal, currently before the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Supreme Court order comes just two days after Judge Talwani issued another decision unfavorable to the Trump administration in the case — one which we can also expect the administration to appeal shortly.
RedState will, of course, continue to follow the case and provide updates as warranted.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
