The plaintiffs in this case are the Haitian Bridge Alliance and a group of individuals who have either filed an application to sponsor a beneficiary of humanitarian parole or have received humanitarian parole. The plaintiffs have sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), challenging Executive Order 14165, which directed DHS to terminate all humanitarian parole programs. The plaintiffs argue that the Executive Order violates the plaintiffs' Fifth Amendment right to due process, as well as the Administrative Procedure Act.
On April 18, the defendants appealed the stay of parole terminations to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which denied the appeal. The defendants then appealed to the Supreme Court, which granted defendants' appeal.
