The Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to strip legal protections of 350,000 Venezuelan migrants
Washington (AP) – The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to strip temporary legal protections of 350,000 Venezuelans, which potentially exposes them to be deported.
The Department of Justice asked the Superior Court to realize a federal judge in San Francisco who maintained in place a temporary protected status for Venezuelans who would otherwise have expired last month.
The State allows people who already live and work legally because their native countries are considered insecure for return due to a natural disaster or civil conflicts.
A Federal Court of Appeals had previously rejected the administration application.
The administration of President Donald Trump has moved aggressively to withdraw several protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the country, including the completion of TPS for a total of 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians. TPS is granted in 18 -month increases.

The emergency appeal before the Superior Court came the same day that a federal judge in Texas ruled the illegal efforts of the administration to deport Venezuelans under a law of war of the 18th century. The cases are not related.
The protections had expired on April 7, but the American district judge Edward Chen ordered a pause on those plans. He discovered that the expiration threatened to severely interrupt the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and could cost billions in the loss of economic activity.
Chen, who was appointed for the bank by Democratic President Barack Obama, discovered that the Government had not demonstrated any damage caused to keep the program alive.
But the attorney general D. John Sauer wrote in the name of the administration that the order of Chen inadmissively interferes with the power of the administration on immigration and foreign affairs.
In addition, Sauer told the judges, the affected persons in the end of the protected state could have other legal options to try to remain in the country because “the decision to finish TPS is not equivalent to a final elimination order.”

The Congress created TPS in 1990 to avoid deportations to countries that suffer from natural disasters or civil conflicts.
