Supreme Court Backs Trump Plan to Deport 300,000 Venezuelans

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to move forward with stripping temporary deportation protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, marking what legal experts call the largest removal of immigration status for any group in modern U.S. history. The case centers on Temporary Protected Status, or TPS — a designation created for migrants fleeing dangerous conditions. It was expanded under President Joe Biden due to Venezuela’s collapsing economy and political chaos. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem abruptly reversed it, prompting lawsuits from Venezuelan nationals who say the decision was rooted in racial and political bias. The high court did not explain its reasoning and made no mention of the work permits already granted under the Biden extension. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenter.
