Jane Koston: 在过去几周，最高法院的裁决对大约五十万合法居住在美国的移民造成了重大打击。法院允许特朗普政府结束对来自委内瑞拉、海地、古巴和尼加拉瓜的数十万人的驱逐保护，这些人之前通过人道主义假释和临时保护身份（TPS）等项目合法居住在美国。虽然这些命令只是暂时的，但对于那些法律地位变得不确定的数十万人来说，这并没有带来多少安慰。这些裁决使得他们的法律地位变得非常不稳定，随时可能面临被驱逐的风险，这给他们的生活带来了巨大的不确定性和压力。 Dara Lind: 临时保护身份（TPS）和人道主义假释都是行政部门酌情决定的保护形式，而不是正式的签证。TPS允许因本国发生自然灾害或内战等情况而无法安全返回的国家的国民在美国居留和工作。人道主义假释则允许特定国家的国民在满足一定条件的情况下合法进入美国。然而，最高法院最近的裁决使得这些保护措施变得不稳定，特朗普政府可以撤销对这些人的保护。这意味着许多已经在美国合法居住、工作和生活的人们可能会失去他们的合法身份，面临被驱逐的风险。政府部门需要提供更清晰的指导，明确这些裁决对受影响人群的具体影响，以避免造成更大的混乱和不确定性。

Shownotes Transcript

In the last few weeks, the Supreme Court has dealt more than half a million migrants a serious blow to their ability to live here in the U.S. legally. In separate orders, the court allowed the Trump administration to lift deportation protections for Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians living here under two programs — humanitarian parole and Temporary Protected Status. While the court’s orders are only temporary, it’s little comfort to the hundreds of thousands of people who are now newly vulnerable to deportation. Dara Lind, a** **senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, explains what happens next.

And in headlines: Federal authorities charged a man suspected of an antisemitic attack in Colorado with a federal hate crime, the Supreme Court declined to hear two gun rights cases, and representatives for Ukraine and Russia met in Istanbul for peace talks.
