Supreme Court allows Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans
The Supreme Court has again allowed the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for over 300,000 Venezuelans. This ruling suspends a California federal court's decision that had blocked the termination of the benefit. The Supreme Court's decision reaffirms a previous ruling from May, overriding a lower court's order that prevented the Secretary of Homeland Security from revoking TPS. This status protects eligible immigrants from deportation and grants them work permits. TPS is granted to individuals whose home countries face conditions like conflict or natural disasters. The court's majority found the Trump administration's reasons for revocation valid, while progressive judges dissented, citing disruption to many lives.
