The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration another victory on its emergency docket Friday, allowing it to end temporary protected status for Venezuelans while litigation continues.

The high court halted a lower court’s order in a 6-3 ruling blocking the administration from ending the protections, months after it ruled similarly in blocking U.S. District Judge Edward Chen’s order stopping the end of TPS for Venezuelan migrants in May . Chen’s preliminary injunction was blocked by the Supreme Court earlier this year, while his later final judgment against the administration was paused by the high court on Friday pending further litigation in a federal appeals court and possibly in the Supreme Court.
