May 19 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to revoke special legal protections for nearly 350,000 Venezuelan nationals living in the United States temporarily.
Homeland Security had asked the justices to lift a lower court's injunction that blocked Secretary Kristi Noem's revocations of the Temporary Protected Status program, or TPS.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she would deny emergency relief.
The brief order said Northern California district court order is "stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari, if such a writ is timely sought."
