Washington — The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to wade into its effort to terminate the Temporary Protected Status program protecting roughly 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in the U.S. from deportation. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revoked the designation in February, which would have cleared the way for the migrants to lose their government-issued work permits and deportations protections on April 7.
Main Idea: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to let it end Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelans, which would clear the way for deportations and lost work permits.
Key Points:
If the Supreme Court lets the Trump administration end TPS, about 350,000 Venezuelans could lose work permits and face deportation, which may disrupt families, employers, and local communities.
Keeping TPS in place would let many Venezuelan workers stay legally employed and may avoid sudden labor and housing disruptions for households and small businesses.
