(WND News Center)—In a stunning decision Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court, with support even from leftists like Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, gave a green light to President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport hundreds of thousands of individuals given special protected status by Joe Biden.
The court’s only leftist to oppose the move was Ketanji Jackson, Biden’s appointee and a known opponent to just about anything that Trump proposes.
The Star-Advertiser explained decision allows the White House to strip temporary protected status from Venezuelans living in the U.S., who under Biden’s leftist ideologies, had been protected.
The massive victory for Trump comes “as the Republican president moves to ramp up deportations as part of his hardline approach to immigration,” the report explained.
The court agreed to the Justice Department’s request to overturn an order from Edward Chen, a trial court judge in California who had halted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to terminate a Temporary Protected Status program.
The court did leave open a door to challenges by migrants.
And the Department of Homeland Security documented that 348,202 Venezuelans were given the special protection by Biden. They claimed at the time was that Venezuela was an unsafe country.
The report noted the program is a designation under U.S. law for nations experiencing war or other disasters, giving those protected permission to stay in the U.S.
“The U.S. government under Biden, a Democrat, twice designated Venezuela for TPS, in 2021 and 2023. In January, days before Trump returned to office, the Biden administration announced an extension of the programs to October 2026,” the report said.
Noem then rescinded that decision.
Chen had claimed, at the time he decided to take over the decision-making process for the executive branch, “Generalization of criminality to the Venezuelan TPS population as a whole is baseless and smacks of racism predicated on generalized false stereotypes.”
It was that fault by Chen that Department of Justice lawyers had pointed out to the Supreme Court.
They explained, “The (lower) court’s order contravenes fundamental Executive Branch prerogatives and indefinitely delays sensitive policy decisions in an area of immigration policy that Congress recognized must be flexible, fast-paced, and discretionary.”
The report said, “In a separate case on Friday, the Supreme Court kept in place its block on Trump’s deportations of Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime, faulting his administration for seeking to remove them without an adequate legal process.”
Trump pointed out over the weekend that decision was “a bad and dangerous day for America.”
The Daily Mail said the latest decision was a “major immigration win” for Trump, “as he seeks to speed up mass deportations.”
This issue has been one of a multitude on which judges in entry-level courts to the federal judiciary repeatedly have taken control of executive branch decisions with nationwide injunctions, a separate issue that also is pending before the Supreme Court.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
