Supreme Court Gives Trump Admin K
President Donald Trump won a major Supreme Court victory after the justices
lifted a lower court injunction blocking his administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan migrants.
The ruling was 8–1, with only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.
The decision allows the administration to move forward with terminating TPS for about 300,000 Venezuelans.
According to the report, it “clears the way for the Trump administration to move forward with its plans to terminate Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections.”
Solicitor General John Sauer argued the lower court overreached, saying, “The district court’s reasoning is untenable,”
because the policy involves “discretionary, sensitive, and foreign-policy-laden judgments.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked TPS in February, stating it was “contrary to the national interest” to allow beneficiaries to remain.
A federal judge had blocked the move, calling claims about migrants “baseless and smacks of racism.”
In a separate case, the Supreme Court declined to revive a Florida immigration law criminalizing illegal entry into the state.
