A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Trump likely has the authority to revoke Biden-era parole programs that granted temporary entry to certain migrants, overturning a lower court decision that sought to limit his power.
The three-judge panel of the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — all Democratic appointees — found that federal law gives Trump broad discretion to dismantle parole programs in their entirety. The court also said the Department of Homeland Security sufficiently explained its reversal of the Biden administration’s policy.
