Trump may end temporary protected status for 350,000 Venezuelans, Supreme Court rules

The Supreme Court has approved the Trump administration’s move to deport around 350,000 Venezuelans who were granted “temporary protected status” to live and work in the United States under the Biden administration. The decision allows for the repeal of this protection, which was initially blocked by a federal judge in San Francisco. This ruling does not pertain to several hundred Venezuelans held in Texas for deportation to El Salvador, but it will impact the legal protection of a significant number of Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S. by 2023. The court’s decision has been criticized for its potential humanitarian and economic consequences, as it marks a significant shift in immigration policy.
