Overview

  • The Supreme Court granted an emergency request allowing the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, reversing earlier court injunctions.
  • Approximately 350,000 Venezuelans will lose work authorization and deportation protections as the administration moves forward with its policy changes.
  • The revocation stems from a February decision by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, which critics argue was based on negative stereotypes and unconstitutional animus.
  • Miami-area Republican lawmakers have urged the administration to adopt a more case-by-case approach, citing the economic and social integration of migrants in South Florida.
  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the Supreme Court's order, which leaves the fate of TPS protections to ongoing litigation in the lower courts.
