The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday to allow the Trump administration to remove Biden-era protections that shielded nearly 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants from deportation. The unsigned, two-paragraph order gave no reasons for lifting an injunction by a federal judge in San Francisco, who ruled that removing Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan asylum seekers would “inflict irreparable harm on hundreds of thousands of persons whose lives, families, and livelihoods will be severely disrupted, cost the United States billions in economic activity, and injure public health and safety.” An attorney representing Venezuelan immigrants called Monday’s ruling “the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history.”
