US judge prevents Trump from invalidating 5,000 Venezuelans' legal documents
- On May 30, 2025, a U.S. District Judge based in San Francisco issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from canceling work permits and legal status for approximately 5,000 Venezuelan nationals.
- This ruling responded to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's February move to invalidate documents issued under the Temporary Protected Status program extended by the prior Biden administration.
- Judge Edward Chen, an Obama appointee, sided with lawyers and advocacy groups arguing Noem exceeded her authority, emphasizing the documents allow Venezuelans to legally live and work in the U.S.
- Chen stated that the relatively low number of TPS holders undermines any argument that their ongoing presence would negatively impact the economy at the local or national level or pose a national security risk.
- The ruling preserves protections for this subset despite the Supreme Court's recent approval to terminate TPS for nearly 350,000 Venezuelans, underscoring ongoing legal challenges and economic impacts for migrants.
