Detailed Analysis:
- Claim: A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to update its immigration services website to reflect 600,000 Venezuelans with temporary protected status are legally allowed to live and work in the United States
- Verification Source #2: States that the Supreme Court says Trump can strip protected status for Venezuelans, potentially leading to deportations of some 350,000 Venezuelans.
- Verification Source #5: States that the Trump administration has terminated TPS for up to 350,000 Venezuelans granted TPS in 2023.
