9TH CIRCUIT BLOCKS TRUMP BID TO END TPS FOR VENEZUELANS; DEPORTATION SHIELD STAYS FOR 600,000

A Ninth Circuit panel upheld an injunction preserving Temporary Protected Status for roughly 600,000 Venezuelans, keeping work authorization and protection from deportation in place while litigation proceeds. The ruling adds to a broader mid-2025 pattern of courts scrutinizing DHS attempts to terminate multiple TPS designations.
