"From what we can tell, this is the single largest action in modern American history, stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status. And that the Supreme Court authorized this in a two paragraph order with no reasoning is just truly shocking."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Emi MacLean, Attorney, ACLU of Northern California:
"With today's decision, the Supreme Court effectively immunized Secretary Noem's lawlessness, at least for a period of time, and thrust hundreds of thousands of people in limbo, unable to return safely to Venezuela, and yet without legal status here."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jessica Bansal, Attourney, TPS Counsel, National Day Laborer Organizing Network:
"In January, Venezuelan TPS holders were promised 18 months more of protection and that promise was taken away. And we continue to believe it is unlawful and there's nothing in the Supreme Court's order that analyzes that claim. So we'll move forward as best we can, but this is a really difficult day for us. It's a really difficulty decision to explain to your clients and to have to explain to the TPS holder community."

STORYLINE:
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.
The court's order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month.
The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.
The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.
The high court's order appears to be the “single largest action in modern American history stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, one of the attorneys for Venezuelan migrants.
The complex economic and political crisis in Venezuela has driven more than 7.7 million people to leave the South American nation since 2013.
Venezuela’s most recent economic troubles pushed year-over-year inflation in April to 172%.
The latest chapter even prompted President Nicolás Maduro to declare an “economic emergency” last month.
Maduro, whose reelection last year to a third term has been condemned internationally as illegitimate, also has cracked down on his political opponents.
