US EditionJudge won’t lift block on Trump use of Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans
- In early 2024, federal courts prevented the Trump administration from removing Venezuelan and other migrants who were protected through Temporary Protected Status and a humanitarian parole initiative across the United States.
- These rulings came after DHS Secretary Kristi Noem attempted to terminate employment authorization and protections against removal, actions that Judge Edward M. Chen found were based on generalized assumptions and could lead to serious, unrecoverable harm.
- In 2023, the Temporary Protected Status designation for around 350,000 Venezuelan nationals was restored across the country, extending protection through October 2, 2026. Additionally, the Biden-era CHNV parole initiative, which has facilitated entry for more than half a million migrants, remains in effect pending further judicial decisions.

- These judicial decisions have temporarily limited the administration's aggressive deportation agenda and raised legal scrutiny over the use of the Alien Enemies Act and the suspension of immigration benefits.
