A federal appeals court upheld a lower court's decision that blocks the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections for around 350,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied an emergency stay by the Department of Homeland Security, emphasizing that the government did not prove it would face irreparable harm. The case centers on a decision by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, which a judge previously ruled unlawful, noting significant risks to affected families and economic consequences for communities.
The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit denied the government's request for an emergency stay, affirming that the administration had not proven irreparable harm.
Judge Chen noted that the disruption to hundreds of thousands of people and their communities would have severe consequences, highlighting the economic impact of Venezuelan workers.
