Supreme Court lets Trump revoke ‘parole’ status for 500,000 migrants allowing mass deportations: Live updates

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled President Trump can end humanitarian parole for over 500,000 people from four countries, exposing them to deportation.

He can revoke temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants living in the United States, bolstering his drive to step up deportations.

The court put on hold Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani’s order halting the administration’s move to end the immigration ‘parole; granted to 532,000 of these migrants by Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden.

It potentially exposed many of them to rapid removal, while the case plays out in lower courts.

As with many of the court’s orders issued in an emergency fashion, the decision was unsigned and gave no reasoning.

Two of the court’s three liberal justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, publicly dissented.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller brushed off a question about Elon Musk’s alleged drug use during the 2024 campaign Friday.

‘The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border,’ Miller said when asked whether the White House was concerned about his drug use following a New York Times expose alleging Musk’s ‘intensive’ drug use.

He didn’t provide a direct answer when asked what China did to provoke President Trump’s angry post that it ‘totally violated’ its agreement with the U.S.

“It’s a great question and a very valid question. I’m going to let the USTR, the trade rep, Jamieson Greer, as well as Secretary of Commerce, Secretary Lutnick, provide more detail on that,’ he said.

He also responded to a bombshell report that uncovered seven fake citations in RFK, Jr.’s MAHA report. He told DailyMail.com when asked about the errors and if there would be any consequences: ‘I don’t believe that’s true. But even regardless, the reality is, is that what has been fake for generations now is the medical and nutrition advice that some of this government has been giving our families.’

Anna Wintour visited the White House on Thursday despite Melania Trump’s irritation at not appearing on the cover of Vogue as first lady.

The legendary editor of Vogue was at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for a meeting with Donald Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles to discuss the impact of the president’s tariffs on the fashion industry.

But the internet lit on fire with speculation the meeting may result in Melania Trump getting her first Vogue cover as first lady.

It was notable in the first Trump term that Melania Trump was missing from the pages of the fashion bible. She and Donald Trump knew Wintour socially, had attended The Met Gala and Melania graced the cover in February 2005 wearing her wedding dress.

In comparison, Jill Biden and Michelle Obama appeared on the cover of Vogue three times each during their tenures as first lady.

President Donald Trump’s red Tesla, which is parked by the entrance into the West Wing, got a test run Thursday night by two prominent staffers.

‘Taking President Trump’s Tesla out for a ride with @PressSec!,’ wrote top aide Margo Martin on X. ‘Best boss ever.’

She added a photo of her and press secretary Karoline Leavitt in the electric vehicle. Martin was in the driver’s seat.

Supreme Court justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented from the ruling that could allow President Trump to deport 500,000 migrants from four countries.

The two justices warned of the ‘devastating consequences’ of upending the ‘lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million non-citizens while their legal claims are pending,” they wrote.

‘The Court has plainly botched this assessment today,” they added.

They said the migrants ‘now face two unbearable options. On the one hand, they could elect to leave the United States and, thereby, confront dangers in their native countries, experience destructive family separation,’ and possibly forfeit any chance of remedy based on their claims.

‘On the other, they could remain in the United States.. and risk imminent removal at the hands of Government agents, along with its serious attendant consequences, the justices wrote.

President Donald Trump will maintain the traditional role of a U.S. general at the helm of NATO at least for now, sources told Reuters.

Trump himself privately communicated the decision to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, a Western official said.

The decision will relieve European NATO allies and even some of Trump’s fellow Republicans.

Trump’s administration has discussed possible troop reductions in Europe, where about 80,000 U.S. personnel are based.

Joe and Jill Biden attended mass in Wilmington, Del., on Friday to mark the 15th anniversary of the death of their son Beau.

The former first couple were seen at St. Joseph on the Brandywine, the Catholic Church were Beau is buried.

The public sighting comes as the former president battles prostate cancer and the former first lady is facing calls to testify about her role in an alleged coverup of Joe Biden’s health while he was in office.

President Donald Trump slammed China in a social media post Friday morning for violating a trade agreement with the U.S.

‘Two weeks ago China was in grave economic danger! The very high Tariffs I set made it virtually impossible for China to trade into the United States marketplace which is, by far, number one in the World,’ His Truth Social post began.

‘We went, in effect, cold turkey with China, and it was devastating for them. Many factories closed and there was, to put it mildly, ‘civil unrest.”

The Republican shared that he offered to help China with a deal, but that the country has since breached the agreement.

‘The bad news is that China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, has totally violated its agreement with us.’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Thursday trade negotiations with China were ‘a bit stalled.’

He suggested President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping could get involved.

I would say that they are a bit stalled. I believe that we will be having more talks with them in the next few weeks, and I believe we may, at some point, have a call between the president and party chair Xi.

The world’s two biggest economies agreed this month to pause reciprocal tariffs for 90 days, a surprise de-escalation in their bitter trade war following talks between top officials in Geneva.

Under the May 12 truce, Washington agreed to temporarily reduce the tariff on Chinese imports to 30 percent from 145 percent, while China said it would lower its import duty on American goods to 10 percent from 125 percent.
