A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to revoke temporary protected status for approximately 5,000 Venezuelans in the U.S. despite a recent decision by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to terminate a Biden-era extension. U.S. District Judge Edward E. Chen ruled that those with protected status extended until October 2026 cannot be deported during the ongoing legal proceedings. This case reflects broader implications for around 350,000 Venezuelans and stemmed from allegations of racial discrimination against Noem's decision. The legal battle underscores the intersection of immigration policy and judicial oversight.
Judge Edward E. Chen ruled that Venezuelans granted temporary protected status can retain it during the ongoing legal case, blocking the Trump administration's termination.
The ongoing case may impact around 350,000 Venezuelans, as a ruling against the Trump administration's actions could uphold their right to live and work in the U.S.
