TRUMP SEEKS SUPREME COURT OK TO END TPS FOR 300,000 VENEZUELANS AS 9TH CIRCUIT BLOCKS DHS MOVE

The administration asked the Supreme Court to stay a lower court order and allow DHS to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans while appeals proceed. Judge Edward Chen previously ruled the termination unlawful, and the 9th Circuit declined to stay his decision. Roughly 300,000 Venezuelans could lose deportation protections and work authorization if the stay is granted. DHS has also moved against TPS for other nationalities, signaling wider legal battles.
