The Supreme Court on Oct. 3 temporarily lifted a block on the Trump administration’s attempt to remove protected status for Venezuelan migrants, opening the door to deportations.

The decision followed a similar decision by the court in May and came after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit had weighed in on the issue.
