Twitter and Bluesky users are weighing in after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to cancel temporary protections for nearly 350,000 Venezuelans – and they are not happy.
“Ending protections for Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s regime is cruel, short-sighted, and destabilizing. I’ve fought to extend TPS so families in Colorado can stay safe and rebuild their lives. Stripping it away abandons American values and weakens our communities,” Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) wrote on Bluesky.
“It'd be great to find out what the Supreme Court thinks the irreparable harm to the government is and how that outweighs the irreparable harm to the TPS recipients in the balance of the equities formula. Although, that would require them to do law, so I'm being unreasonable,” ACLU attorney Jerry Edwards posted.

“SCOTUS just cleared Trump to deport 350,000 Venezuelans. TPS is meant for those fleeing war, collapse, or disaster. Venezuela checks every box. But Trump’s DHS said they’re criminals. A judge called it racist. The Supreme Court waved it through. This isn’t policy. It’s purging,” H. John Tran told his more than 70,000 followers.
“1) yikes 2) "The brief order noted that liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied the application." ...that's all? 3) the original district court order blocking this found that the admin's revocation of protected status was based at least in part on unconstitutional racial animus,” Madiba Dennie, author of “The Originalism Trap,” said.
“Imagine thinking the job of a Supreme Court justice is to please the president who nominated them. Whiny and intellectually lazy,” DC examiner, contributor Kimberly Ross said on X.
“Venezuelan TPS holders fled the Maduro regime and built lives in America. This atrocious decision allows Trump to deport non-criminals back to a murderous dictator,” Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said. “This fight is NOT over. We must pass my Venezuela TPS Act to keep our community safe.
