"On that date, 250,000 Venezuelans who, like her, live and work in the United States as beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status (TPS), will become undocumented. That day I lose everything: I lose my driver's license, I lose my status, and I lose my work permit. And deportation proceedings may be initiated against me, which would separate me from the family I've built here, she says in a video interview with EL PAIS."
"On October 3, the Supreme Court, in a ruling of just three paragraphs, reiterated a decision it had made in May and put 350,000 Venezuelans who had been granted TPS in 2023 at risk of deportation. The decision will now affect another 250,000 Venezuelans whose temporary residence permit expires on November 7. The TPS case for Venezuelans remains unresolved in the courts."
"Among these was TPS, which his predecessor, Joe Biden, had granted in 2021 and 2023 to Venezuelans fleeing the worsening political and economic situation in their country. The Democrat, just a few days before the end of his term, extended the permit for 18 months to October 2026, but the Trump administration's Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, revoked it."
"Advocacy organizations took the case to court, and on September 5, District Judge Edward M. Chen ruled that Noem's attempt to eliminate TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians was illegal. The Secretary's actions in reversing the previous administration's order and terminating TPS are unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and motivated by unconstitutional animus, Chen wrote. The government has appealed the ruling, but while the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals resolves the case, the Supreme Court has left the 600,000 Venezuelans who resided legal"
A Supreme Court ruling has jeopardized Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States. On November 7, 250,000 Venezuelans with expiring TPS risk becoming undocumented, losing driver's licenses, work permits, and legal status, and facing potential deportation and family separation. Earlier rulings placed 350,000 beneficiaries from 2023 at risk. Biden had granted and extended TPS in 2021 and 2023, and Noem later revoked the permit. A federal judge found the revocation unlawful and motivated by unconstitutional animus; the government has appealed and the broader TPS fate remains unresolved in the courts.
