The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to move toward ending temporary deportation protections for potentially hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans. At issue is a form of humanitarian relief known as Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants. Seven Venezuelan nationals who are covered by TPS and a group that represents others challenged the move, arguing in part that the decision was motivated by racial and political hostility. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only justice to note her dissent. Earlier this year, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem moved to end TPS status for Venezuelan migrants, with more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the US set to lose those protections next week. Another 250,000 immigrants who arrived before 2023 are scheduled to lose their status in September. A central issue in the proceedings was whether Noem had the authority to wipe away the existing TPS designation before it was scheduled to expire. The Biden administration first granted TPS for Venezuelans in March 2021, citing the increased instability in the country, and expanded it in 2023. Two weeks before Trump took office, the Biden administration renewed protections for an additional 18 months. Monday’s ruling applies to the 2023 designation.
