Trump administration can strip protected status for Venezuelans for now
Briefly

On Monday, the Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to move forward with plans to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S. This ruling supports the administration's emergency application amidst an ongoing legal battle surrounding the TPS program, which protects immigrants from deportation in cases of unsafe conditions in their home countries. While the court did not clarify its reasoning, it indicated disagreement from Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The decision comes after a federal judge temporarily blocked the termination of TPS, raising procedural and bias concerns.
The Supreme Court ruled to permit the Trump administration to revoke legal protections for 350,000 Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status, pending appeal.
The ruling allows for potential deportations of Venezuelans, challenging the Biden administration's 18-month TPS extension, arguing it was based on procedural issues and bias.
