The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to end deportation protections for 300,000 Venezuelans, a move opposed by some justices and challenged by migrants, impacting their ability to stay in the U.S.
The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow the termination of deportation protections (TPS) for Venezuelans in the U.S., challenging a lower court ruling that blocked this move. The case involves about 300,000 Venezuelans and is part of broader efforts to end TPS for multiple countries.

The Supreme Court's decision will determine whether these protections are revoked during ongoing legal proceedings.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that it will grant deportation protections and work permits to thousands of Afghan nationals who arrived in the last year, including those who crossed illegally at the southern border. This comes after a similar announcement was made for nationals from Venezuela. The DHS will extend and redesignate Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which shields nationals from deportation and allows them to apply for work permits due to conditions in their home country. The move is based on the ongoing armed conflict in Afghanistan, where the Taliban has retaken control. The redesignation will open the program to new applicants who arrived between March 2022 and Wednesday, potentially benefiting up to 14,600 additional Afghans.
