The Supreme Court in the United States has approved the cancellation of the legal status of over 500,000 Latin American immigrants residing in America, as shown in a judicial document. Trump's administration had announced in March its intention to end the legal status of over 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, who were granted this status under a program initiated by former President Joe Biden. The court's decision was not signed or accompanied by reasons, but was opposed by Judges Kanta Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, who warned of "devastating consequences" of uprooting "the lives of nearly half a million non-citizens while their legal requests are being considered." Trump pledged during his election campaign to deport millions of people and sought to undermine the policies of former President Joe Biden that allowed immigrants to reside legally in the United States.
