The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Trump to end the Biden-era protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
The decision was 6-3. All three liberal justices dissented.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fumed in her dissent.
“I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote.
“We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson added.
NBC reported:
The Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for up to 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants, meaning some could ultimately be deported.
The court granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration seeking to block a judge’s ruling that said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to follow the correct process in revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.
The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in May granted an earlier emergency request filed by the Trump administration in the same case.
The latest filing came after California-based U.S. District Judge Edward Chen on Sept. 5 again ruled against the administration, this time in the form of a final decision rather than a preliminary one.
On September 5, a San Francisco-based federal judge blocked the Trump Administration from canceling Protected Status for 1.1 million Venezuelans and Haitians.
Earlier this year, Judge Chen temporarily paused Trump’s plans to end Biden’s TPS program.
The DOJ argued that the parole programs were discretionary and it is up to the government to decide when it can cut the program.
In May, the Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, lifted Judge Chen’s block on Trump’s order to revoke protected status for hundreds of thousands of migrants while the policy was challenged in court.
CBP data found that over 1 million illegal aliens have been allowed into the US through what the Biden Regime defined as “legal” means.” The Biden-Kamala admin used the CBP One App and the CHNV program to allow illegals entry into the US.
These numbers are not included in the millions of illegals that have entered the US under Joe Biden’s watch.

Dems shut down the government because they think it’s not going bankrupt fast enough
Democrats have shut down the federal government because they think the federal debt isn’t spiraling out of control fast enough — they demand the Republican majorities in Congress agree to spend more taxpayer cash on Dems’ priorities.
Dems forced the shutdown by using the filibuster to prevent a Senate floor vote that would’ve passed the House “stopgap” bill to fund federal operations for another six weeks or so.
As their price just to allow a vote, Democrats demand roughly $1.5 trillion in added spending.
Despite their denials, a significant part of that is funding for health coverage for illegal immigrants: Their own alternative bill spelled that out, with language repealing recent GOP legislation that restricts Medicaid coverage of such migrants.
The main category of federal Medicaid spending on “undocumented aliens” jumped from $3 billion in 2023 to $9 billion in 2024; even more federal cash flows indirectly to such care via various state accounting gimmicks that the Biden administration winked at.
An even bigger chunk of Dems’ $1.5 trillion demand is to fund ObamaCare subsidies to lower the price of insurance bought via the “exchanges.”
Democrats used their Biden-era majorities in Congress to impose these “temporary” subsidies first via the “American Rescue Plan Act” and then the “Inflation Reduction Act” (though of course bailing out ObamaCare had nothing to do with bouncing back from COVID or fighting inflation).
Millions of Americans won’t buy ObamaCare policies without these subsidies because — despite Dems’ insistence at the time that ObamaCare would “bend the cost curve down” — premiums have nearly doubled since Democrats rammed the law through without a single Republican vote.
The GOP’s willing to discuss restoring some subsidies — but not in the stopgap bill.
Meanwhile, the ObamaCare law also vastly spiked federal Medicaid outlays, bribing states to expand coverage by picking up 90% of the added costs — another “temporary” arrangement that Dems keep extending.
As a result, Uncle Sam’s Medicaid spending has exploded: It jumped from $409 billion in 2019 to $615 billion in 2023 and roughly $650 billion this year.
The GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act this year aimed to slow that growth in coming years; undoing those restraints is another part of Democrats’ $1.5 trillion ransom demand.
Now step back and look at the bigger picture.
Thanks in good part to President Joe Biden’s two huge spending bills, the national debt is now over $37 trillion, up from not quite $28 trillion when he took office.
Not only did that hog-wild spending produce Bidenflation, it put the country on a completely unsustainable fiscal path.
Republicans are trying to restore sanity by 1) slowing Medicaid’s growth, 2) declining to renew the huge subsidies that cover up ObamaCare’s failure, and 3) stopping the use of federal funds to cover illegal immigrants’ health care.
Democrats are trying to blackmail the GOP into surrendering on all three counts — abandoning all efforts to stop the debt from spiraling out of control — simply to fund the government through November.
That’s what this shutdown is all about.

Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS) Reports US Economy Added 60,000 Jobs in September Amid BLS Shutdown
NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Revelio Labs today released its September edition of Revelio Public Labor Statistics (RPLS), a monthly data release delivering transparent and reliable insights into the U.S. labor market. Their numbers show employment gains of 60 thousand for September, a reading that came in just above expectations but continues to reflect a broad slowdown in the labor market.
In terms of leading indicators, active job postings declined by 0.6% month-over-month, while salaries from new job postings decreased by 0.3%. Both hiring and attrition rates also fell by 0.1 percentage points, pointing to continued weakening in labor market dynamism.
With the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) unable to publish its official jobs report due to the government shutdown, RPLS provides a critical alternative view of labor market dynamics. Using a regression model built on historical correlations with both RPLS and ADP data, Revelio Labs estimates that the BLS would have reported approximately 38 thousand jobs gained in September.
“While our RPLS September employment gains number came in slightly above expectations, it is still a relatively small gain. Together with declines in job postings, advertised salaries, hiring, and attrition, these suggest the labor market continues to slow down. With the BLS sidelined this month, independent measures like RPLS are essential to provide clarity.”, said Chief Economist Lisa Simon.
RPLS is a freely available macroeconomic labor market set of statistics built from 100+ million U.S. profiles to provide a clear view of workforce dynamics. It follows a format similar to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), tracking employment levels, wages, and job transitions at a scale that traditional surveys cannot, offering a continuous picture of the labor market. RPLS intends to close the growing information gap and deliver unbiased data on the U.S. workforce for policymakers, businesses, and the public.
