  • The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.

In a recent Supreme Court decision, former President Donald Trump's administration was allowed to strip Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from approximately 350,000 Venezuelan migrants, reversing a previous ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. This decision, which impacts Venezuelans who have been living and working legally in the U.S. since 2017 due to ongoing crises in their home country, could lead to their deportation. The Supreme Court's conservative majority, in a 7-2 vote, determined that the decision to end TPS was within the executive branch's authority, despite arguments from the migrants and advocacy groups that such a move was politically motivated and lacked proper justification. This ruling has significant implications for the affected migrants, who now face uncertainty and potential upheaval in their lives.
