The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to strip legal temporary protections from nearly 500,000 people who entered the United States legally from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, reports Greg Stohr of Bloomberg.

Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. They argued that the court's decision "undervalues the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending."

The loss of legal status for these individuals will likely send ripple effects through their own communities and the American economy at large, report Miriam Jordan and Jazmine Ulloa of The New York Times.

"These are 500,000 workers, and they’re spread out across industries and geographies. This will be felt across the country," Jennie told Anumita Kaur and Lauren Kaori Gurley of The Washington Post.

In a statement, Jennie went on to say that the decision is "a microcosm of our broken immigration policies" and an example of "why Congress needs to step in with immigration and border reforms."

Separately, the Justice Department is using a statute used during World War II to criminally charge undocumented migrants who are not registered with the government, reports Jeremy Roebuck and Marianne LeVine of The Washington Post.
