The Supreme Court voted 8-1 to lift an injunction that blocked President Donald Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for some illegal aliens who arrived here through parole processes.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the only one who would have denied the application.
In February, DHS announced a plan to revoke the TPS protections of around 300,000 Venezuelans in America.
Former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas extended the TPS protections for illegal aliens from El Salvador, Ukraine, and Venezuela until 2026 right before former President Joe Biden left office.
Mayorkas claimed the extension was needed “based on the severe humanitarian emergency the country continues to face due to political and economic crises under the inhumane Maduro regime.”
TPS applies to illegal aliens “who entered the U.S. without authorization or overstayed visas” from certain countries.
The people “qualify for work permits and can pursue asylum.”
In March, Judge Edward M. Chen of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California blocked the plan, even saying the plan “smacks of racism.”
The Trump administration appealed.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit denied the Trump administration’s request for a temporary injunction on Chen’s order as the case moves through the courts.
Trump asked SCOTUS to lift the injunction, claiming Chen overstepped his authority.
