"Revoking Residency Rights: 500K Immigrants in the Crosshairs - Trump Takes on Supreme Court"
Half a Million Immigrants Granted Residence Status Seek Supreme Court Review for Trump's Decision
All hell is breaking loose in the immigration scene as the U.S. government aims to revoke the residency of a whopping half a million individuals from South America. Secretary General John Sauer has put in a plea to the Supreme Court, seeking the overturn of a federal judge's ruling that hinders the government from terminating humanitarian protection for these 532,000 migrants hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The Trump administration has fired back, blasting the judge for "meddling" with the executive's authority in administering immigration policies, labelling the move as an "interference with prerogatives."
In a surprising twist, this crackdown takes flight less than a year after the CHNV program, which grants temporary residency to eligible South Americans, was initiated by President Biden. Judge Indira Talwani's stay order, implemented in April, argues that the termination of the CHNV program is based on a flawed interpretation of the immigration law and that expedited deportations shouldn't apply to legal residents.
According to the CHNV program, eligible migrants could enter the U.S. and stay for two years due to the unfavorable circumstances in their home countries. As the presidential election looms in 2024, Trump's hardline stance on immigration has struck a chord with many voters, with promises to launch the largest deportation campaign in U.S. history. However, his controversial approach keeps bumping against legal barriers.
The government initially announced its intention to terminate the residency status of the affected migrants back in March. The migrants were given until April 24 to leave the U.S. or prove another valid residency status, hence avoiding potential deportation[1][3][5]. As it stands, the Supreme Court is yet to rule on the appeal, and the status quo still holds, thanks to Talwani's stay order.
