Appeals Court Backs Trump: DHS Can End Humanitarian Parole For 430,000 Migrants

The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a district court stay, allowing the Trump administration and DHS to end humanitarian parole protections covering about 430,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela while litigation continues. The panel acknowledged potential irreparable harm but found plaintiffs unlikely to prevail on the merits. Advocates argue DHS must assess cases individually and warn of family separation and loss of work authorization; DOJ says DHS has discretion to rescind temporary benefits. The ruling heightens deportation and work-permit uncertainty amid conflicting federal court decisions elsewhere.
