Justices\u2019 order puts on hold lower-court ruing that found officials had wrongly ended temporary protected status
The US supreme court<\/a> on Friday allowed Donald Trump\u2019s administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants.
The justices issued an emergency order, which will last as long as the court case continues, putting on hold a lower-court ruling<\/a> by US district judge Edward Chen in San Francisco that found the president\u2019s administration had wrongly ended temporary protected status (TPS) for the Venezuelans. The three liberal justices dissented.
Trump\u2019s Republican administration has moved to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the US and work legally, including ending TPS for a total of 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who were granted protection during the presidency of Joe Biden, a Democrat. TPS is granted in 18-month increments.
In May, the supreme court reversed a preliminary order from Chen that affected another 350,000 Venezuelans whose protections expired in April. The high court provided no explanation at the time, which is common in emergency appeals.
\u201cThe same result that we reached in May is appropriate here,\u201d the court wrote on Friday in an unsigned order.
Some migrants have lost their jobs and homes while others have been detained and deported after the justices stepped in the first time, lawyers for the migrants told the court.
\u201cI view today\u2019s decision as yet another grave misuse of our emergency docket,\u201d Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. \u201cBecause, respectfully, I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent.\u201d
Congress created TPS in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries suffering from natural disasters, civil strife or other dangerous conditions. The designation can be granted by the homeland security secretary.
Chen found that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acted \u201cwith unprecedented haste and in an unprecedented manner \u2026 for the preordained purpose of expediting termination of Venezuela\u2019s TPS\u201d status.
In earlier denying the Trump administration\u2019s emergency appeal, judge Kim Wardlaw wrote for a unanimous three-judge appellate panel that Chen determined that DHS made its \u201cdecisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second\u201d.
Solicitor general D John Sauer, the administration\u2019s top supreme court lawyer, had argued in the new court filing that the justices\u2019 May order should also apply to the current case.
\u201cThis case is familiar to the court and involves the increasingly familiar and untenable phenomenon of lower courts disregarding this court\u2019s orders on the emergency docket,\u201d Sauer wrote.
The result, he said, is that the \u201cnew order, just like the old one, halted the vacatur and termination of TPS affecting over 300,000 aliens based on meritless legal theories\u201d.<\/p>\n
