Washington, D.C. – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration can revoke the legal status of over 500,000 migrants, striking down a federal judge’s block on ending the Biden-era humanitarian parole program.

The decision immediately puts migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela at risk of deportation. The program protected people fleeing political and economic turmoil in their home countries. Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, warning that the ruling leaves vulnerable communities without recourse to the law.

“This goes beyond policy — it impacts real families and communities,” said Pamela Asobo-Anchang, editor of The Immigrant Magazine, in an interview with Ndiho Media.

Meanwhile, the administration has halted all student visa appointments at U.S. embassies and is expanding social media vetting for student and exchange visas. A leaked memo says the move will have “significant implications” for U.S. consulates worldwide.

Critics argue this visa crackdown is politically motivated, targeting elite universities seen as “too liberal” and failing to respond to pro-Palestinian campus protests. Supporters say that it’s about restoring order and enforcing long-neglected immigration laws.

With sweeping immigration changes now backed by the highest court, the future for many migrants and international students remains uncertain.
