Supreme Court allows Trump admin to pull protections for 350,000 Venezuelans

The Trump administration can strip temporary deportation protections from 350,00 Venezuelans, the Supreme Court said Monday.Why it matters: The Venezuelan immigrants are still challenging the Trump administration's decision to remove their Temporary Protected Status in a lower court, but the Supreme Court's order means those protections can be revoked while the case continues.A federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California had blocked the Trump administration from removing the deportation protections, but the Supreme Court overturned that decision on Monday.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the request, per the court's order.As many as 350,000 Venezuelans are covered by the Temporary Protected Status, according to court filings.Catch up quick: Outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas had extended the deportation protections for Venezuelans until 2026 in the waning days of the Biden administration, but current DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revoked that decision in February.In its request to the Supreme Court, the Trump administration said the district court judge's nationwide stay overstepped its authority."The court thus wrested control of the nation's immigration policy away from the Executive Branch," the administration said.Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated with more information.
