In a stunning legal victory, President Donald Trump secured an 8–1 ruling from the Supreme Court, allowing his administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 300,000 Venezuelan migrants living in the United States. Even liberal justices sided with Trump, with only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting.
The ruling lifts a lower court injunction that had blocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s February order to revoke TPS — a program originally expanded under President Biden. The justices agreed that immigration enforcement falls under the discretion of the Executive Branch, rejecting claims that the move was unconstitutional. With the decision now final, the administration is set to begin removals immediately, marking one of the biggest immigration victories of Trump’s second term — and a decisive reversal of Biden-era protections.
