WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday let the Trump administration, for now, remove protections from nearly 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants who had been allowed to remain in the United States without risk of deportation under a program known as Temporary Protected Status.

The court’s brief order was unsigned and gave no reasons, which is typical when the justices rule on emergency applications. No vote count was listed, although Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson noted that she would have denied the administration’s request.

The justices announced they would allow the Trump administration to end the protections pending appeal of the case, potentially allowing the administration to move ahead with deportations. The justices also appeared to suggest that some of the Venezuelans who had been able to receive documentation of their legal status before the Trump administration terminated the program could sue to challenge their deportations.

In a separate case, the justices Friday criticized the Trump administration for seeking to provide only a day’s warning to a different group of Venezuelan immigrants in Texas it had been trying to deport under the expansive powers of the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th-century wartime law. The Trump administration has accused that group of migrants of being members of the violent gang Tren de Aragua.

Monday’s order affects a much broader swath of Venezuelans currently living in the United States legally under the terms of a Biden-era program.

The court has been inundated with applications arising from President Donald Trump’s blitz of executive orders, many of them seeking to pause or limit trial court rulings blocking the administration’s aggressive agenda, notably in immigration.

Ahilan Arulanantham, a lawyer representing the immigrants challenging the Trump administration, called the court’s decision “truly shocking,” especially that it was announced “in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning.”

“This is the largest single action stripping any group of noncitizens of immigration status in modern U.S. history,” Arulanantham said. “The humanitarian and economic impact of the court’s decision will be felt immediately and will reverberate for generations.”

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, called the decision “a win for the American people and the safety of our communities.”

“The Biden administration exploited parole programs to let poorly vetted migrants into this country — from MS-13 gang members to known terrorists and murderers,” she said. “The Trump administration is reinstituting integrity into our immigration system to keep our homeland and its people safe.”

This case started in February, when Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, terminated an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status that had been granted to Venezuelans by the Biden administration. People affected by the change sued, saying that the move violated administrative procedures and was influenced by racial bias.
