Supreme Court Gives Donald Trump
Supreme Court Backs Trump on Migrant Protection Rollback
President Donald Trump won a major victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 8–1
to lift an injunction blocking his administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
for about 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The decision allows the administration to revoke Biden-era protections and begin deportations.
U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer argued that the lower court “exceeded its jurisdiction,”
calling the case a matter of “sensitive and foreign-policy-laden judgments.”
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had previously rescinded TPS for Venezuela,
saying the country “no longer satisfies the criteria for the 2023 designation”
and that allowing migrants to stay “is against the national interest.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling reverses a March decision by Judge Edward Chen,
who had halted the policy, calling its justification “unfounded and replete with racism.”
DHS reports over 527,000 deportations since Trump took office in January 2025.
