WASHINGTON — The Trump administration Friday made an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a district court’s order that blocked the Department of Homeland Security from ending temporary protections for roughly 350,000 Venezuelans. Solicitor D. John Sauer argued that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has the authority to revoke extended protections initially granted to Venezuelans under the Biden administration. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS status for several groups, including Venezuelans. This is the second time in this legal battle the Trump administration is appealing to the high court to let it end protections for Venezuelans. In May, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to temporarily terminate TPS for 350,000 Venezuelans but the case continued in lower courts.
