US EditionTrump wants to end Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants. What is it?
- On Monday, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants living in the U.S.
- This decision follows administration orders to expire TPS protections for Venezuelans in April, after a federal judge’s ruling had temporarily paused those plans.
- The administration is also ending TPS designations for roughly 250,000 Venezuelans by September and about 500,000 Haitians by August, while seeking to end humanitarian parole for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
- More than 500,000 people from these four countries live in the U.S. under humanitarian parole, a legal tool unrelated to criminal parole, historically used for immigrants blocked by time constraints or poor U.S. relations.
- The TPS expiration may lead to deportations and is being challenged by immigrant rights groups amid historic use of parole and recent immigration policy shifts including ending the CBP One app under the Trump administration.
