Oct. 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.
The Department of Homeland Security in August ended the TPS protection for about 300,000 "migrants" from Venezuela, which U.S. District Court for Northern California Judge Edward Chen blocked on Sept. 5.
Chen's ruling is the second in which he blocked the Trump administration's effort to end protected status for Venezuelans, which the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld in August, The Hill reported.
