The Supreme Court granted the Trump Administration’s request to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans. The ruling marks the second time the justices have intervened on their emergency docket to lift a ruling from a District Court judge keeping the TPS protections in place. The unsigned order states that “although the posture of the case has changed, the parties’ legal arguments and relative harms generally have not. The same result that we reached in May is appropriate here.” Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan both publicly dissented but did not explain their reasoning. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in a solo dissent called it a “grave misuse of our emergency docket.”
