Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented, arguing the majority had not properly considered “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.”
They argued the Court’s order will “have the lives of half a million migrants unravel all around us before the courts decide their legal claims.”
The order means the parole protections will not be in place as the case proceeds; it now heads back to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston.
