Legal Action

A coalition of immigrant advocacy nonprofits filed a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance administration, challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to revoke the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelan migrants granted under the Biden administration. The Biden administration had granted Venezuelan TPS holders protection under the program until October 2026, but DHS’s subsequent reversal led to 350,000 Venezuelan migrants losing TPS on April 7, 2025. The plaintiffs argue the decision violates the Administrative Procedure Act, as well as TPS holders’ Fifth Amendment right to due process. The plaintiffs request the court declare the reversal of the TPS extension unlawful and order the extension to remain in effect.
