The Supreme Court on Fri­day al­lowed Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s ad­min­is­tra­tion to strip le­gal pro­tec­tions from more than 300,000 Venezue­lan mi­grants.

The jus­tices is­sued an emer­gency or­der, which will last as long as the court case con­tin­ues, putting on hold a low­er-court rul­ing by U.S. Dis­trict Judge Ed­ward Chen in San Fran­cis­co that found the ad­min­is­tra­tion had wrong­ly end­ed tem­po­rary pro­tect­ed sta­tus for the Venezue­lans. The three lib­er­al jus­tices dis­sent­ed.

Trump’s Re­pub­li­can ad­min­is­tra­tion has moved to with­draw var­i­ous pro­tec­tions that have al­lowed im­mi­grants to re­main in the Unit­ed States and work legal­ly, in­clud­ing end­ing TPS for a to­tal of 600,000 Venezue­lans and 500,000 Haitians who were grant­ed pro­tec­tion un­der Pres­i­dent Joe Biden, a De­mo­c­rat. TPS is grant­ed in 18-month in­cre­ments.
