Appeals court blocks Trump administration from ending legal protections for 600,000 Venezuelans

The 9th Circuit ruled the Trump administration lacked legal authority to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, protecting about 600,000 individuals amid ongoing litigation.

  • A federal appeals court ruled that the Trump administration likely acted unlawfully by rolling back protections for 600,000 Venezuelans in the U.S.
  • The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a decision by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, finding that Kristi Noem likely lacked the authority to cancel the protections for eligible Venezuelans.
  • Lawyers for the Venezuelans and the National TPS Alliance called the ruling a victory, although it does not provide an immediate solution.
  • U.S. Circuit Judge Kim McLane Wardlaw emphasized that sudden changes contradict the purpose of Temporary Protected Status, which is meant to provide safety and protection from deportation.
