"The United States Supreme Court has again cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to revoke a temporary legal protection for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants in the United States. On Friday, the court's conservative majority granted the administration's request to put on hold a judge's ruling that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lacked the authority to end the Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, granted to the migrants under Trump's Democratic predecessor Joe Biden while litigation proceeds."
"Some migrants have lost their jobs and homes, while others have been detained and deported after the justices stepped in the first time, lawyers for the migrants told the court. The court's three liberal justices dissented from Friday's decision. I view today's decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. Because, respectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent."
The Supreme Court's conservative majority granted the administration's request to stay a lower court ruling while litigation proceeds, allowing efforts to end TPS for Venezuelan migrants to move forward. A prior May order from the Court lifted an earlier temporary injunction, producing immediate consequences for some migrants who lost jobs, homes, or faced detention and deportation. District Judge Edward Chen had halted the termination and later ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem violated federal agency law and made discriminatory statements about Venezuelan TPS holders. The Court's three liberal justices dissented, condemning emergency docket use and harmful interference with lower courts.
