Federal appeals court blocks Trump plan to end Venezuelan protections
A federal appeals court has blocked the Trump administration’s plans to end protections for 600-thousand people from Venezuela. The Trump administration announced an end to the Temporary Protected Status that allows eligible Venezualans to live and work in the United States. The White House argued that many migrants no longer merit protections. But a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the administration acted unlawfully when it rolled back temporary protections. And that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem likely lacked authority to cancel the Biden-ear decision.
