The Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to remove legal protections for Venezuelan nationals, opening them up to potential deportation.
The decision came in a brief order on May 19. It noted that the order was “without prejudice” toward the challenge to a policy from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the administration’s request, according to the order.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration had asked the Supreme Court to remove a lower court’s block on its decision to remove temporary legal protections for more than 300,000 Venezuelan nationals.
