Washington (AP) – The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration on Monday, to roam the legal protection of 350,000 Venezuelans and possibly expose them to deportation.

The arrangement of the court with only a well -known dissent is A on the waiting loop A Decision of a federal judge In San Francisco, which was temporarily protected for the Venezuelans, which would otherwise have expired last month. The judges did not provide any reasons for which is common in emergency call calls.

The status enables people who legally live and work in the United States, since their home countries are classified as unsafe due to natural disasters or bourgeois disputes.

The arrangement of the Supreme Court appears to be the “greatest action in modern American history, which frees a group of non-state citizens of immigration status,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, one of the lawyers for Venezolan migrants.

“This decision will force families to choose in an impossible position, either survive or to make a decision,” said Cecilia Gonzalez Herrera, who was Ver in, to prevent the Trump government from withdrawing legal protective measures in front of her and others.

“Venezuelans are not criminals,” said Gonzalez Herrera.

“We all deserve the chance of being able to thrive without being returned to the risk,” she said.

The effects on the hundreds of thousands of those affected are not yet clear, said Arulanantham. The Department of Homeland Security Department did not immediately comment on the order of the Supreme Court.

A federal appeal court had previously rejected the administration's application to put the command on ice while the lawsuit continued. A hearing is made for next week before the US district judge Edward Chen, who maintained the plans of the administration.

The case is the youngest in a series of appeals procedures that President Donald Trump's government brought to the Supreme Court, many of which are connected with immigration and Venezuela. The government last week asked the court So that it can end humanitarian probation for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, which means that they also prepare for a possible deportation.

The High Court was also involved Slowdown Trump's efforts that were accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador quickly deported a law of the war of the 18th century, which was the extraterrestrial enemy law called Alien Enemies Act.

The complex economic and political crisis in Venezuela has caused more than 7.7 million people to leave the South American nation since 2013. Venezuela's recent economic problems in April in April drove inflation from year to year. The latest chapter even prompted this President Nicolás Maduro To Declare an “economic emergency” last month. Maduro, whose re -election was sentenced to a third term internationally as illegitimate last year, also reflected his political opponents.

In the dispute over TPS, the administration has aggressively moved to withdraw various protective measures that made it possible to remain immigrants to stay in the country, including the end of the temporary protected status for a total of 600,000 Venezolans and 500,000 Haitians. This status is granted in steps of 18 months. Venezuela was first referred to for TPS in 2021; Haiti, in 2010.

Protection was supposed to expire on April 7, but chen found that the process could severely disrupt the life of hundreds of thousands of people and that billions of lost economic activity could cost.

Chen, who was appointed the bench by the democratic President Barack Obama, found that the government had not caused any damage caused by maintaining the program.

But Attorney General D. John Sauer wrote on behalf of the administration that Chen's command inadmissible the power of the government about immigration and foreign ministries.

In addition, Sauer informed the judges that people who are affected by the termination of the protected status have other legal options to try to stay in the country, since the “decision to terminate TPS does not correspond to a final distance order”.

The Congress founded TPS in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries that suffer from natural disasters or civilian disputes.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said she had rejected the government's emergency room.
