President Trump has revoked the legal status of 900,000 migrants who entered the U.S. at the southern border and were seeking asylum under a program launched by former President Biden. 

Under that Biden-era program, migrants were allowed to stay in the U.S. for up to two years and granted parole from immigration laws.

The Trump White House called for illegal migrants to self-deport, and announced plans to fine them $998 per day if they fail to leave the U.S. after receiving deportation orders—a policy that could be enforced retroactively for up to five years and could involve property seizure for unpaid fines.

Separately, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump can proceed with deporting Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act, though detainees must be granted due process to bring suit in the state where they’re being held.
