Overview

• The Court issued a brief emergency order on Friday with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissenting.
• The decision stays a Northern District of California ruling and echoes the Court’s May order that reached the same outcome.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem initiated the move to terminate Venezuela’s TPS designation earlier this year, prompting the legal fight.
• DHS is now authorized to advance actions that could end deportation protection and work authorization for roughly 300,000 to 350,000 Venezuelan beneficiaries while litigation continues in lower courts.
• DHS said TPS was always meant to be temporary, and Venezuela’s main opposition coalition urged the U.S. to offer lawful alternatives for displaced Venezuelans.
