Venezuelans sue Trump administration for ending temporary legal protections
Briefly

Venezuelan immigrants have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS), alleging that this decision, affecting around 350,000 individuals, was racially motivated and legally flawed. The lawsuit argues that the premature end to protections—granted by the Biden administration—lacked adherence to the required review process outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act. Additionally, another 250,000 Venezuelans are anticipated to lose their status by September. Legal representatives highlight that never before has an administration terminated TPS in this manner, underscoring the unprecedented nature of this action.
The lawsuit alleges the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans was motivated by racial animus, violating federal law by lacking proper review.
Legal protections for approximately 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants are at risk, with the lawsuit claiming the Trump administration's actions were unprecedented since TPS's inception.
