On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court gave a “huge win” to the Trump administration by allowing the president’s plan to terminate the temporary protected status of thousands of migrants to proceed after it was stopped by a lower court.
Under the Biden administration, roughly 300,000 Venezuelans were given temporary protected status and allowed to live in the United States. With the recent ruling, Trump can now remove that protection and begin the deportation process, Fox News reported.
During a Monday appearance on Fox Business Network’s “Kudlow,” U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) called SCOTUS’s ruling a “huge win” for the president.
“It’s a huge win,” Tuberville said. “I’ve been to Colombia, where all the Venezuelans were coming across back in the day, where we’re having 3-5,000 people come through the Darien Gap up to the United States of America. It was a disaster, and we did not get the good ones.
He continued, “A lot of the Venezuelans stopped in Colombia. They took 3 million themselves. But the ones that didn’t want to stay, they pushed them right on out. They came up through the Darien Gap, and now they are here in the United States of America. And we are in trouble in a lot of our cities because they do not go by American laws.”
Federal officials at the Mobile FBI headquarters recently announced that 502 illegal immigrants had been arrested over the last three months. At least nine of those were connected to a Venezuelan gang, officials said.
