Supreme Court Allows Trump to Revoke TPS

The Hill reported the Supreme Court ruled to allow the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, overriding a lower court’s block. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only one to dissent.

“Generalization of criminality to the Venezuelan TPS population as a whole is baseless and smacks of racism predicated on generalized false stereotypes,” wrote U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in March after halting the revocation.

Fox News reported, “‘Forceful condemnations of gang violence and broad questioning of the integrity of the prior administration’s immigration practices, including potential abuses of the TPS program, do not evince discriminatory intent,’ Sauer said, describing Chen's descriptions as ‘cherry-picked’ and ‘wrongly portrayed’ as ‘racially tinged.’”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also defended the move, claiming the Biden administration had sought to “tie our hands” and stating that “Secretaries across administrations have accordingly terminated TPS designations when... the statutory conditions no longer warrant them.”

The National TPS Alliance argued that Noem lacked authority to rescind the designation without evaluating country conditions, warning that unchecked executive power could lead to arbitrary immigration decisions. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has yet to issue a final ruling, with a hearing scheduled for July 11.

Fox News reported:

The decision clears the way for the Trump administration to move forward with its plans to terminate Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for roughly 300,000 Venezuelan migrants living in the U.S. and allows the administration to move forward with plans to immediately remove these migrants, which lawyers for the administration argued they should be able to do.
