A Ninth Circuit panel said Tuesday it will grant a 14-day administrative stay, beginning Friday, of its order restoring Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan nationals. The panel had earlier denied the Trump administration's bid to keep blocking a lower court ruling that found removal of the protections unlawful. TPS allows stays of up to 18 months with work authorization eligibility.
