Trump asks Supreme Court to allow him to revoke temporary protections for Venezuelan immigrants

POLITICO · last updated

The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow President Donald Trump to roll back immigration protections for about 600,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S.

The emergency appeal from Solicitor General John Sauer is the latest of about a dozen expedited requests the Trump administration has brought to the high court in the past three months. The requests typically seek to immediately reinstate aspects of Trump’s agenda — often related to his aggressive immigration crackdowns — in the face of preliminary adverse rulings from lower courts.
