Overview

  • U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that the Trump administration’s move to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans was likely unlawful and motivated by unconstitutional animus.
  • The decision allows about 530,000 Venezuelan nationals to retain their legal protections and work authorization in the U.S. until October 2026.
  • The court emphasized the severe harm that ending TPS would cause, including disruption to families, economic losses, and public health risks in affected communities.
  • The Trump administration justified the termination by citing alleged improvements in Venezuela, but experts and advocates widely disputed these claims, pointing to ongoing repression and humanitarian crises.
  • Critics, including Trump advisor Stephen Miller, have accused the judiciary of overreach, while advocacy groups praised the ruling as a critical safeguard for vulnerable populations.
