Supreme Court Lets Trump Revoke ‘Parole’ Status For 500,000 Migrants

According to court records, about 6,100 people from Syria have temporary legal status after leaving their homes because of armed conflict.

The International Refugee Assistance Project says that ending those protections could stop people from being able to work legally in the United States and put more people at risk of deportation, especially the 800 people who have applications pending.

The first protections for Syrians came in 2012, during a civil war that lasted more than ten years and ended with the fall of President Bashar Assad’s government in late 2024.
