The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld temporary legal protections for Venezuelan migrants, rejecting the Trump administration's emergency request to deport them. This ruling affirms that a lower court's decision to block the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) remains in effect. With about 700,000 Venezuelans in the U.S., this decision supports roughly 350,000 individuals who were at risk of losing their protections. Advocacy groups argue the administration's actions are driven by racial bias, while the Justice Department cites national security concerns as justification for its approach.
The ruling by the Ninth Circuit reaffirms legal protections for Venezuelan migrants in the U.S., blocking immediate deportations as efforts to end Temporary Protected Status are challenged.
The court highlighted that the government could not show it would suffer irreparable harm, allowing 350,000 vulnerable Venezuelan migrants to retain their protections for now.
