The Supreme Court has Trump proceed in the termination of the temporary deportation protection for Venezuelans

–

The Supreme Court opened the way for the government of President Donald Trump on Monday to deprive the temporary deportation protection from potentially hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

In a short and non -signed arrangement, a majority of the High Court decided that the administration could advance its plans to end a humanitarian relief that is known as a temporary protected status – a step that, as immigration lawyers say, make more people prone to deportation.

The court's decision was criticized by lawyers for immigrant rights.

Ahilan Arulanantham, co-director of the Center for Immigration Right and Policy at the UCLA School of Law, which had represented the Venezoleers, which had been involved in the case, described the decision as “the largest individual action that calmed down a group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern US history”.

In a cryptic second paragraph in the arrangement, however, the court did not stop whether the administration could revoke work entitlements and other advantages of TPS that had already been issued after the bid administration had extended the status in January. It was not immediately clear how many people received these advantages or how the decision would apply to them.

It is also unlikely that the decision of the court is the last step. The case will now switch to the 9th US Court of Appeals of the US Circuit of Appeals, which checks the underlying decisions that the Trump Management has made to revoke the TPS status for Venezolans.

It is a form of humanitarian relief that is known as a temporary protected status for Venezuelan migrants. Seven Venezuelan citizens covered by TPS and one group that others represented asked for the move and partially argued that the decision was motivated by racist and political hostility.

Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only justice that noticed her contradiction.

Several lawyers who deal with the case criticized the lack of clarity in the order of the Supreme Court, of which they said they would have the practical effect to first enable the Trump administration, how to implement how it was implemented.

Arulanantham, who spoke about an hour after ordering with reporters, called it “impossible to understand”.

“The Supreme Court did not explain why he issued the order,” said Jessica Bansal, a lawyer who also worked on behalf of the plaintiffs in the case. “The case now continues under the shadow of an unexplained two-sales order with an unclear effect.”

At the beginning of this year, the secretary of the homeland protection authority, Kristi NoEM, ended the TPS status for Venezuelan migrants, with more than 300,000 Venezuelans in the USA lose this protection. Another 250,000 immigrants who arrived before 2023 should lose their status in September.

A central problem in the procedure was whether NoEM had the authority to extinguish the existing TPS designation before it should take place.

In March 2021, the Biden administration granted TPS for Venezolans, citing the increased instability of the country and expanded it in 2023. Two weeks before Trump took up the office, the bidding management renewed protection by another 18 months. The judgment on Monday applies to the name 2023.

The challengers, Venezuelan migrants covered under TPS, stated that the abrupt reversal of the protective measures of NoEM had violated the law on the administrative procedure that prescribed the specific procedure for federal authorities when implementing changes in the guidelines. They also argued that Noem's decision was motivated by racist and political prejudices.

A Federal District Court in California temporarily blocked NoEM's arrangement at the end of March.

Us District Judge Edward Chen, Nominated to the Bench by Former President Barack Obama, Descred Venezuela as “A Country So Rife With Economic and Political Upheaval and Danger That The State Department” Has Warned Against Travel There ”'Due to the High Risk of Wrong Ful Detitions, Terrorism, Kidnapping, The Arbitrary Enforcement of Local Laws, Crime, Civil Unrest, Poor Health Infrastructure. '”

The Congress founded the TPS program in 1990 and made it possible for the Federal Government to provide migrants from countries to issue natural disasters, wars and other conditions, temporarily return protection that would make it dangerous for people. At the end of the first Trump government, the officials Venezuela described the worst humanitarian crisis in the western hemisphere “and granted some of his migrants a different form of temporary relief.
