Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke protected status for thousands of Venezuelans

As part of the Trump administration's hard-line immigration policy, it seeks to reverse a Biden-era policy that extended protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday gave the Trump administration the green light to revoke special legal protections for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants, which could pave the way for them to be deported.

The high court granted an emergency application filed by the administration, meaning officials can move forward with reversing a decision made at the tail end of the Biden administration to extend protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelans under the federal Temporary Protected Status program.

The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application. Litigation will now continue in lower courts.

As a result of political instability in Venezuela, the Biden administration in March 2021 said Venezuelans were eligible for temporary protected status under the federal program that has existed since 1990 to provide humanitarian relief to people from countries reeling from war, natural disasters or other catastrophes.

What the Executive Order giveth, the Executive Order can taketh.

There's no substitute for ol' fashioned codified laws passed by Congress and signed by the President.

Maybe, somtime in the future, in a galaxy far, far away, America will have a functional Legislative Branch again.

Maybe, sometime in the future, in a galaxy far, far away, America will have a judiciary that understands their role and starts coloring inside the lines again.

The Executive and the Judiciary have been able overreach because the Legislative Branch has been absent.

I think it even more important that our Congress understands its role on how to handle a judiciary acting outside its authority

They understand it but actually doing their jobs would distract them from their fundraising. Priorities are important!
