A Turning Point for Venezuelan TPS Holders Following the Supreme Court’s Decision

May 23, 2025

On May 19, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a brief allowing the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to proceed with the termination of the 2023 TPS designation for Venezuelans, which lifted a Federal Court’s injunction that had temporarily blocked the move.

As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, the immediate legal consequences for Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries vary:

2023 Venezuelan TPS Designation Recipients: May suffer the immediate loss of TPS status and work authorization unless they qualify for another form of relief, asylum or alternative immigration options.
2021 Venezuelan TPS Designation Recipients: Unaffected by the Supreme Court decision, and their TPS status and work authorization is valid until September 10, 2025.

If you are one of the affected TPS recipients and have additional questions about how this might affect your case, please contact your LHSCD attorney directly.
