Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke protected status for thousands of Venezuelans
- On Monday, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelans in the United States.
- This decision follows disputes over Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's authority to revoke TPS amid ongoing crises in Venezuela under President Nicolás Maduro.
- Federal judges had temporarily blocked ending TPS due to the severe risk of deporting Venezuelans to a country with civil unrest and humanitarian issues, while lawsuits argued the revocation violated federal procedures.
- US District Judge Edward Chen stated that ending TPS "smacks of racism," and activist Adelys Ferro called the ruling a "xenophobic, discriminatory, racist attack" targeting vulnerable Venezuelans.
- The ruling allows the administration to proceed while appeals continue, potentially exposing hundreds of thousands to deportation and raising concerns about immigration policy and humanitarian protections.
