Now, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration can resume its deportation of Venezuelans as it ends their temporary protected status. File Photo by Rayner Pena/EPAOct. 3 (UPI) -- The Trump administration can resume its deportation of Venezuelans after the Supreme Court again overturned a lower court's block on ending the temporary protected status. Chen, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, afterward said the Supreme Court ruling lacked detail and again blocked the Trump administration from ending the TPS protection. Shortly before leaving office, former President Joe Biden on Jan. 17 extended the temporary protected status for Venezuelans for another two years. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended the protected status within days of the Senate confirming her nomination on Jan. 25.
