Appeals court rules Trump administration can end legal protections for more than 400,000 migrants

BOSTON (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Trump administration can end legal protections for around 430,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

The ruling by a three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest twist in a legal fight over Biden-era policies that created new and expanded pathways for people to live in the United States, generally for two years with work authorization. The Trump administration announced in March it was ending the humanitarian parole protections.

“We recognize the risks of irreparable harm persuasively laid out in the district court’s order: that parolees who lawfully arrived in this country were suddenly forced to choose between leaving in less than a month — a choice that potentially includes being separated from their families, communities, and lawful employment and returning to dangers in their home countries," the judges wrote. “But absent a strong showing of likelihood of success on the merits, the risk of such irreparable harms cannot, by itself, support a stay.”

In a two-page ruling, the court lifted a stay issued by a district court and is allowing the administration to end humanitarian parole for those groups while the lawsuit plays out. The ruling Friday is a victory for the Trump administration but doesn’t change anything on the ground.

1. And how did their American citizen relatives in the US vote last November?

That's why I'm not going to be marching in the streets about this.

2. Wow, think of all of those jobs opening up

for Medicaid recipients kicked off the safety net! I can see those wheelchairs rolling down the rows in the watermelon fields now. I can see all of those gray-haired workers at their desks in Sillycon Valley coding and working on cutting edge "A1" applications. I can see legions of pregnant women roofers, no water breaks ladies! I can see the 12 year olds working night shift clean-up in slaughterhouses, well, some things will be the same.
