US appeals court has upheld President Donald Trump’s move to end temporary legal status for about 430,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, Reuters reported. 

The 1st Circuit Court ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem acted within her authority when she revoked the Biden-era humanitarian parole program, overturning a lower court’s decision.

Judge Gustavo Gelpi, writing for the panel, admitted the ruling brings severe consequences for many families but stressed the law gave the secretary discretion.

Immigrant groups condemned the decision as devastating and vowed to keep fighting in court, according to BBC.
