Trump administration calls for Supreme Court intervention to end Venezuelans' temporary protection status
Washington – Trump administration asked Thursday Supreme Court In an effort to end the temporary protected status program, it will protect approximately 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants from deportation in the United States.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Revoked name In February, this will clear the way for immigrants to lose their government-issued work permits and deportation on April 7. But a federal judge in California Agree to postpone the move In late March, she said her decision to terminate the TPS plan for Venezuelan immigration appeared to be “based on negative stereotypes.”
The federal appeals court refused to provide emergency relief to the Trump administration and suspended the district court order, causing the Trump administration to seek Supreme Court intervention.
“As long as the order is valid, the secretary must allow thousands of Venezuelan nationals to remain in the country, although she has reason to be sure that doing so is “a breach of the national interest”,” Attorney General John Sauer wrote in an urgent government appeal to the High Court.
Congress established the program in 1990, which allows the federal government to provide temporary immigration protection for immigrants in countries facing war, natural disasters or other “extraordinary and temporary” conditions, which makes it dangerous to dispatch those who are deported. The program allows beneficiaries to apply for renewable work permits and deportation extensions.
During the Biden administration, then-World Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas designated Venezuela as a temporary protected status program, citing “extraordinary and temporary” conditions that prevented the United States from returning to the United States to the homeland. Mayorkas expanded the name in 2023, and then again before Biden Administration ended.
However, after Mr. Trump took office in his second term, Neum withdraws the extension and finds that continuing the plan “a violation of national interests.” The termination is scheduled to take effect on April 7.
TPS beneficiaries and the National TPS Alliance filed a lawsuit in February challenging Noem's decision, with U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in their favor and postponed the termination of Noem's effect nationwide. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals then refused to stop the order.
In a filing with the Supreme Court, Saul said the District Court’s injunction “has grasped control of U.S. immigration policy, stayed away from the executive branch and imposed the court’s own views.”
“The district court ruling undermines the executive’s inherent authority over immigration and diplomatic affairs,” he wrote.
The Trump administration’s demand for emergency relief is a second term agenda involving Mr. Trump, which has landed on the Supreme Court. Venezuelans' decision to end the TPS plan is also a series of actions taken by the Trump administration, which is its anti-illegal immigration and Efforts to limit relief This allows some immigrants to come to the United States to stay.
The National TPS Alliance's response will be held on May 8.
