Trump officers ask the Supreme Court to withdraw the legal status of Venezuelans | Trump Administration

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court of the United States on Thursday to intervene and to help remove temporary protection status (TPS) of more than 300,000 Venezolan migrants in the USA, a step that would clarify the way for their deportation.

The Ministry of Justice asked the judges of the Supreme Court to stop the order of a federal judge from March from March, which made the decision of the Minister of Homeland Protection Kristi NoEM, to terminate the temporary legal status, which was previously granted to some Venezoles.

“As long as the order is effective [Noem] It has to allow hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan citizens to remain in the country, despite their reasonable determination that this “counteracts the national interest”, wrote the lawyers of the Ministry of Justice in court files.

On April 18, a Federal Court of Appeal rejected the administration's application to pause the judge's order.

According to the arrangement that the judge of the US district court of Ed Chen published in March, he said: “[T]The secretary's action threatens: hundreds of thousands of people whose lives, families and livelihoods hundreds of thousands of people whose lives, families and livelihood are strict, cause irreparable damage, the United States costs billions of economic activities and public health and security in communities in the United States.

“At the same time, the government failed to determine real counter -damage when continuing TPS for Venezuelan favorites,” added Chen.

Chen also wrote that the plaintiffs will “probably succeed, to demonstrate that the measures taken by the secretary are not legally authorized, arbitrary and moody and motivated by unconstitutional animus”.

During his presidency, Joe Biden expanded the temporary protected status to the Venezuelans due to the continuing political and economic crisis in Venezuela. The country's president, Nicolás Maduro, has widespread and violently pursued the members of civil society, including lawyers and journalists, and life varies from precarious to dangerous for many normal citizens, of which millions in South America and Central America, Mexico and the USA have fled.

But since Donald Trump started in January for the second time in January, his administration has introduced comprehensive action against legal and illegal immigration. According to their lawyers, many Venezuelans have been illegally arrested and illegally imprisoned in the past few months.

The preventive arrests of many under the protection of TPS were carried out despite the law that such people should not be recorded due to their immigration status.

Sirine Shebaya, the executive director of the National Immigration Project, said Sirine Shebaya, who was to be of The Guardian last month:

Shebaya added: “But this level of impunity and lack of lack of pretext to follow legal standards or to think about the facts of a person's situation before I aimed at them is something that I have never seen before.”
