The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. The justices on Friday issued an emergency order putting on hold a lower-court ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco that said Trump's administration had wrongly ended temporary protected status for the Venezuelans. The Supreme Court order will last as long as the court case continues. Trump's Republican administration has moved to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the U.S. and work legally, including ending TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians granted protection by President Joe Biden's Democratic administration. Advocates say some migrants have lost their jobs and homes.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary legal protections that have granted more than 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela the right to live and work in the United States. The ruling Friday by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco for the plaintiffs means 600,000 Venezuelans whose temporary protections expired in April or whose protections were about to expire Sept. 10 have status to stay and work in the United States. It also keeps protections for about 500,000 Haitians. Chen said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's actions in terminating and vacating three extensions granted by the previous administration exceeded her statutory authority and were arbitrary and capricious.

Nursing homes around the U.S. say they're feeling the effects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown. As Trump has rescinded work authorizations for various groups of immigrants with Temporary Protected Status, long-term care employees have been pulled from their jobs. Meantime, facilities around the country say they're seeing a narrowing of the pipeline of potential candidates. Some homes who had tapped refugees from Afghanistan, Ukraine and elsewhere are lamenting the pause of refugee arrivals. Others who sought out nurses in Nigeria and the Philippines say visa waits are dragging on so long that candidates are choosing other countries.
