The court is thereby stopping an earlier ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that the protected status would be extended.
The verdict is a response to a request from Kristi Noem, who heads the department of homeland security, that the so-called temporary protected status TPS for Venezuelans would be lifted pending an appeal in a lower instance.
The former president Joe Biden extended TPS by another 18 months just days before Donald Trump returned to the White House in January.
The temporary protected status enables persons who are already in the USA to live and work legally, citing that their home countries are deemed unsafe due to natural disasters or internal unrest.
