supreme court trump venezuela immigrants.

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. The justices on Friday issued an emergency order putting on hold a lower-court ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco that said Trump’s administration had wrongly ended temporary protected status for the Venezuelans. The Supreme Court order will last as long as the court case continues. Trump’s Republican administration has moved to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the U.S. and work legally, including ending TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians granted protection by President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration. Advocates say some migrants have lost their jobs and homes.

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court for an emergency order allowing it to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. The Justice Department on Friday asked the high court to put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that the administration wrongly ended Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans. A federal appeals court refused to pause the ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen while the case continues. In May, the justices reversed an order from Chen that affected another 350,000 Venezuelans. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued in the new court filing that the justices’ May order should also apply to the current case.
