Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court issued a temporary order allowing the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, affecting approximately 350,000 individuals.
• This decision overturns a nationwide injunction by Judge Edward Chen, who ruled the revocation was arbitrary, unlawful, and motivated by unconstitutional animus.
• Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole dissenter in the court's unsigned emergency order, which did not include a detailed rationale.
• The case remains under review by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court's decision is temporary, pending further litigation and potential appeals.
• Advocates warn the revocation could lead to deportations, economic disruption, and humanitarian harm, while the administration defends the move as a restoration of executive authority over immigration policy.
