The U.S. Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to withdraw legal protections for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans, ending their deportation shield. This decision followed a request from the Justice Department to vacate a temporary federal judge's ruling against the Department of Homeland Security's revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). TPS is designed for individuals from countries facing significant dangers. The move faced opposition from activists, citing its profound implications for migrants and the lack of reasoning provided by the court for its decision. An ongoing appeal process is currently ahead in lower courts.
"This is the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern US history. That the Supreme Court authorized it in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking."
"The status allows those already in the United States to live and work legally as their native countries are designated unsafe for return due to a natural disaster, an ongoing armed conflict or other 'extraordinary' conditions."
