Supreme Court allows end to Venezuelan TPS
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration permission to proceed with ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals by freezing a lower‑court ruling that had found DHS acted unlawfully. The unsigned order halts U.S. District Judge Edward Chen’s September decision and affects more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants who have lived and worked in the United States under TPS; Justices Kagan, Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
