On Friday, the Trump administration appealed to the United States Supreme Court, demanding the cancellation of the deportation protection status granted to approximately 300,000 Venezuelan migrants living in the country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
In this petition, the lower court's decision was called an “unjustified disrespect.” The case depends on a decision made earlier this year by Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, which envisages the termination of temporary protected status for Venezuelan migrants.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was introduced to grant refugees and individuals who cannot return to their homeland for various reasons the legal right to live temporarily. Hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela have been able to live and work in the United States under this status.
The Trump administration's demand has caused great concern among migrants. Experts believe that if the Supreme Court supports this decision, hundreds of thousands of people may be forced to return to their homeland.
This situation is likely to negatively affect the lives and rights of migrants. Additionally, it is emphasized that the social and economic consequences of this decision could also be serious.
