More than 300,000 Venezuelans at risk of deportation under new Supreme Court ruling
""Although the posture of the case has changed, the parties' legal arguments and relative harms generally have not," the court order said. "The same result that we reached in May is appropriate here." Catch up quick: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced earlier this year that the administration would terminate TPS for Venezuelans. The Supreme Court first accepted an emergency request in May, allowing the administration to strip protections while legal proceedings continued."
"After granting another emergency request from the administration, Justices paused California-based District Judge Edward Chen's ruling that blocked the administration's TPS rollback. The administration argued that the case reflected "the increasingly familiar and untenable phenomenon of lower courts disregarding this Court's orders on the emergency docket." The other side: All three liberal justices dissented on Friday, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publishing a dissenting opinion."
"Jackson condemned the court for repeatedly accepting emergency requests from the administration, writing, "I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent." Flashback: Congress created TPS in 1990 to safeguard migrants from war, natural disasters and other dangerous conditions that made it impossible to return to their country of origin."
The Supreme Court granted emergency requests that allowed the administration to pause protections and proceed with ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans while lower-court proceedings continue. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced plans to terminate TPS for Venezuelans earlier this year. The court paused a California district judge's order that had blocked the rollback, citing unchanged legal arguments and harms since May. The administration argued lower courts were disregarding the Supreme Court's emergency orders. Three liberal justices dissented; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized repeated emergency interventions as gratuitous and harmful while lives are at stake. TPS was created in 1990 to protect migrants from war, disaster, and other conditions.
