Overview

  • The emergency order stays U.S. District Judge Edward Chen’s Sept. 5 ruling that found DHS unlawfully terminated protections for Venezuelans.
  • The court acted over noted dissents from Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publishing a written dissent.
  • It is the second time since May that the justices have granted the administration’s request to lift a block on ending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.
  • The ruling permits Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to proceed with terminating protections that the Biden administration had extended through October 2026.
  • More than 300,000 people could lose work authorization and face deportation as litigation continues, with the administration citing executive discretion and plaintiffs alleging APA violations and concrete harms from earlier stays.
