"The United States government has, for a second time, asked the Supreme Court to issue an emergency order allowing it to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. The Department of Justice on Friday submitted an emergency application asking the nation's top court to overturn a federal judge's ruling that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not have the authority to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the migrants."
"So long as the district court's order is in effect, the Secretary must permit over 300,000 Venezuelan nationals to remain in the country, notwithstanding her reasoned determination that doing so even temporarily is contrary to the national interest', the Justice Department argued in its filing to the court. In May, the Supreme Court sided with the Donald Trump White House, overturning a temporary order from US District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco that had blocked the termination of TPS."
A federal judge found that ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan nationals violated a federal law regulating government agency conduct. The Justice Department filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court seeking to overturn that ruling and allow termination of TPS protections for over 300,000 migrants. The department argued that while the district court's order remains in effect, the Secretary must permit those Venezuelans to stay despite her determination it is contrary to the national interest. The Supreme Court earlier overturned a temporary block from US District Judge Edward Chen. Millions fled Venezuela due to political repression and an economic crisis partly spurred by US sanctions.
