Supreme Court rules Trump can restart deportation of more than 530K migrants from Biden-era ‘parole' program
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Trump administration can restart deportations of up to 530,000 Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan and Venezuelan migrants who entered the US as part of a controversial 'humanitarian parole' program under former President Joe Biden.
Seven of the high court's justices granted the stay on a Boston federal court ruling that had halted the removals.
Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson authored a dissenting opinion, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor joining her.

'The Court has plainly botched this assessment today,' Jackson seethed. 'It requires next to nothing from the Government with respect to irreparable harm.'
The Biden-appointed justice also warned of 'the devastating consequences of allowing the Government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending.'

'Even if the Government is likely to win on the merits, in our legal system, success takes time and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory,' she added, saying the majority was allowing the Trump admin 'to inflict maximum predecision damage.'
Boston US District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, had blocked Trump from the unilateral move, saying the migrants in the so-called 'CHNV program' were entitled to a case-by-case review.
Trump ordered Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to terminate the parole program pursuant to an executive order he signed on his first day in the Oval Office.

Russian drones and missiles target Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv, killing 3, officials say
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A large Russian drone-and-missile attack targeted Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring 21, local Ukrainian officials said. The Russian barrage — the latest in near daily widescale attacks by Moscow — included deadly aerial glide bombs that have become part of fierce Russian attacks in the three-year war. Kharkiv's mayor Ihor Terekhov said the attack also damaged 18 apartment buildings and 13 private homes. Citing preliminary data, he said Russia used 48 Shahed drones, two missiles and four aerial glide bombs in the attack. The intensity of the Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past weeks has further dampened hopes that the warring sides could reach a peace deal anytime soon days — especially after Kyiv recently embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprising drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia. The attack also came aftert U.S. President Donald Trump said his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, told him Moscow would respond to Ukraine's attack on Sunday on Russian military airfields. It was also hours after Trump said it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia 'fight for a while' before pulling them apart and pursuing peace. Trump's comments were a remarkable detour from his often-stated appeals to stop the war and signaled he may be giving up on recent peace efforts.
