(Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Friday ruled that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration had likely acted unlawfully when it rolled back temporary protections from deportation granted to 600,000 Venezuelans living in the United States during his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden's tenure.
A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a judge's ruling finding that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem likely lacked authority to cancel a Biden-era decision to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for eligible Venezuelans.
