Lower courts prevented the administration from immediately ending a Biden-era program that granted temporary status to people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to revoke temporary legal status for more than 500,000 immigrants who were granted it by the Biden administration.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is seeking to end the Biden program that allowed 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to live and work in the United States for up to two years.

Massachusetts-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled the administration could not sweep away each person’s status without an individualized determination.
