The Supreme Court will allow, for now, the Trump administration to proceed with plans to strip temporary legal protected status from thousands of illegal aliens from Venezuela living in the U.S.
The justices’ order stays a ruling from a lower court that had blocked cancelation of the program as the case continues to move forward through the courts.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly dissented, but neither Jackson nor the other justices explained the reasoning for their decisions.
The court’s decision is a win for the Trump administration after the justices ruled Friday to extended its block on the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members from Venezuela.
In an unsigned opinion Friday, the justices sent the case back down to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit and asked the lower court to determine the procedural specifics the illegal aliens are legally entitled to before they are removed.
