Trump has moved to strip Temporary Protected Status from thousands of Venezuelans living legally in the U.S., and they now could face imminent deportation.

Trump officials asked the justices to lift a lower-court order that barred the administration from ending TPS for Venezuelans while litigation continues.

"Without Temporary Protected Status, if somebody never applied for asylum, they are in fact eligible for deportation, and they're at risk for deportation," said Erendira Rendon, vice president for immigrant justice at the Resurrection Project.
