The Supreme Court handed a significant win to the Trump administration on Monday by allowing it to revoke temporary protected status (TPS) for around 350,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S.—a status originally granted during Joe Biden’s presidency. The decision aligns with Trump’s ongoing commitment to ramp up deportations and enforce tougher immigration controls.
The high court agreed to a Justice Department request to overturn a prior ruling by Judge Edward Chen of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Chen had blocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s move to end the TPS designation for Venezuelans. The TPS designation had provided recipients with protection from deportation and the right to work legally in the U.S.
