The judge's ruling was based on the conclusion that the administration likely acted with racial animus and failed to follow proper procedures when rescinding TPS. This ruling has significant implications for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans currently residing in the United States under protective status, as their deportation was a critical aspect of the administration's immigration reforms.

This acknowledgment marks a rare instance where the administration recognized its missteps amid numerous deportation lawsuits challenging its policies.
