President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to end humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from four countries, setting them up for potential deportation.
The emergency appeal asks the justices to halt a lower-court order keeping in place temporary legal status for more than 500,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Six St. Thomas students are launching a unique venture for their Business 200 class: a collaboration with Tiffany Sports Lounge, a local bar and restaurant. The group includes two seniors, Garrett Tesmer and Jack Olson, and four first-years, Dylan Danh, Callan Theis, Marshall Pen and Anakin Yang.
“This is an experience where you can learn way more than sitting in a classroom listening to a professor yap in a lecture,” Tesmer said.
Tesmer and Olson are finishing their final semester of school and said they pictured the fundraiser as a way to apply all that they have learned across their St. Thomas careers. When customers purchase a buffalo chicken sandwich, 11% of the proceeds will go toward the JP4 Foundation’s youth mentorship program.
JP4 is a program dedicated to reimagining youth mentoring by focusing on three components of holistic development: healthy activities, nourishing food, and meaningful relationships.
