Trump administration asks Supreme Court to intervene in bid to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans
CBSN
Washington — The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to wade into its effort to terminate the Temporary Protected Status program protecting roughly 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in the U.S. from deportation.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked the designation in February, which would have cleared the way for the migrants to lose their government-issued work permits and deportations protections on April 7. But a federal judge in California agreed to delay the move in late March and said her decision to terminate the TPS program for the Venezuelan migrants appeared to be "predicated on negative stereotypes."
A federal appeals court declined to provide emergency relief to the Trump administration and pause the district court's order, leading the Trump administration to seek the Supreme Court's intervention.
