Cancellation of Immigration Protections for Venezuelans Sparks Debate
The Supreme Court's ruling allowing the administration to cancel temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the United States has negatively affected members of the community who have not committed crimes, say advocates.
Meanwhile, the White House said the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) decision to cancel the immigration protections for Venezuelans, upheld by the Supreme Court on May 19, aligns with promises President Donald Trump has made to the American people.

Rep. Nadler condemns Trump admin after staff member handcuffed during congressional office security sweep
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., criticized the Trump administration for "sowing chaos" in communities while announcing that a member of his staff was handcuffed and briefly detained at his New York City office last week. Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were responding Wednesday to reports that protesters were inside Nadler's district office in Manhattan. At the time, a protest was taking place outside an immigration courthouse in the same facility as the congressman's office. "Based on earlier incidents in a nearby facility, FPS officers were concerned about the safety of the federal employees in the office and went to the location to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those present," a Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News Digital. The officers were let inside and came upon four people, the spokesperson said. "Officers identified themselves and explained their intent to conduct a security check, however, one individual became verbally confrontational and physically blocked access to the office, the spokesperson added. "The officers then detained the individual in the hallway for the purpose of completing the security check. All were released without further incident." In a video of the arrest posted online, the officers were heard saying that Nadler's staff were "harboring rioters" and that they were conducting a check. The staff member being arrested can be heard crying during the incident. In a statement released Saturday, Nadler said the DHS officers "forcefully" entered his office before handcuffing a member of his staff. "President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidation tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner," Nadler said. "The decision to enter a Congressional office and detain a staff member demonstrates a deeply troubling disregard for proper legal boundaries," he added. "If this can happen in a Member of Congress's office, it can happen to anyone–and it is happening," Nadler said, in part. Nadler further called on Trump and DHS to halt "these dangerous tactics" and to abandon the expedited removal process, which he said denies due process for illegal immigrants and U.S. citizens. "While no arrests were made and the situation was quickly deescalated, I am alarmed by the aggressive and heavy-handed tactics DHS is employing in New York City and across the country," he said.

US will never default on its debt, claims Trump's Treasury Secretary
The US will never default on its debts, Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary has claimed, as he sought to downplay growing concerns over the state of the country's public finances. Scott Bessent told CBS news on Sunday that the US was 'on the warning track' but insisted it would not run out of cash despite approaching the so-called debt ceiling – the legal limit that the US government is permitted to borrow. He said: 'I will say the United States of America is never going to default. That is never going to happen. We are on the warning track and we will never hit the wall.' Economists have warned that Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful' spending bill will add trillions to the US's $37 trillion (£27.4 trillion) federal deficit over the next decade. The bill, which was approved by the US's House of Representatives last month, proposes raising the US debt ceiling by $4 trillion. It promises increased spending on the US military and a clampdown on illegal immigration alongside cuts to food aid, clean energy tax credits and Medicare, America's healthcare programme for poorer households. The US was downgraded by the credit ratings agency Moody's in May, in part owing to concerns over Mr Trump's policies and slowing economic growth across the Atlantic. In early May, Mr Bessent said there was a 'reasonable probability' that the US could run out of money by August without lifting the debt ceiling. Mr Bessent's comments come after Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan, warned last Friday that Donald Trump's financial plans could 'crack' the American bond market. Investors have become increasingly worried over the impact of Mr Trump's borrowing plans on US Treasuries. Mr Dimon said: 'I just don't know if it's going to be a crisis in six months or six years, and I'm hoping that we change both the trajectory of the debt and the ability of market makers to make markets.' Mr Bessent hit back at Mr Dimon, saying: 'I've known Jamie for a long time, and for his entire career he's made predictions like this. Fortunately none of them have come true. That's why he's a great banker. He tries to look around the corner. 'We are going to bring the deficit down slowly. This has been a long process, so the goal is to bring it down over the next four years.' He argued that the US was taking in a 'substantial tariff income' that could net the US government as much as $2 trillion, and pointed to plans for a clampdown on prescription drug prices. He said: '[The] president has a prescription drug plan with the pharmaceutical companies that could substantially push down costs for prescription drugs, and that could be another trillion.' Mr Bessent also said he was confident that Donald Trump and the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, would 'iron out' their difficulties in a call soon – following accusations from Mr Trump last week that Beijing had violated a truce on tariffs agreed in May. He said: '[Mr Trump] is going to have a wonderful conversation about the trade negotiations this week with President Xi. That's our expectation.'
