Afternoon Briefing: Supreme Court allows Trump to strip protections from some Venezuelans
The Supreme Court today allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.
The court's order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals.
The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.

Corrections: Aug. 5, 2025
Because of an editing error, an article on Saturday about the impact of President Trump's shifting tariff levels on the African nation of Lesotho misstated the day Lesotho's 15 percent tariff rate was announced. It was Thursday night, not Friday night. An article on Monday about a city in Kansas suing over a planned ICE detention center misstated the language in a poster seen at a protest of an immigration detention facility in Leavenworth, Kan. The poster said that Leavenworth is 'more than a prison town,' rather than 'not just a prison town.' An article on Friday about Ford Motor announcing that it lost money in the second quarter as tariffs took a toll on its business misstated the day that Ford reported its second-quarter earnings. It was Wednesday, not Tuesday. A picture from the streaming outlet TBPN published with an article on Friday about A.I. researchers' pay packages misidentified a Microsoft employee who used to work at Google's DeepMind lab. The person shown in the image was not Amar Subramanya. An article on Saturday about the negative impact that the Trump administration's tariffs are having on businesses they were meant to help misstated the month that the United States lost 11,000 manufacturing jobs. It was July, not June. The article also misstated the number of manufacturing job losses in June, based on initial estimates. The revised number was 15,000, not 6,000. The earlier estimate was 6,000. An article on Sunday about a veteran lifeguard's Friday routine misstated, in some instances, Javier Rodriguez's surname on second reference and that of his three adult children. Their surname is Rodriguez, not Hernandez. Errors are corrected during the press run whenever possible, so some errors noted here may not have appeared in all editions.

Trump to Create Task Force for L.A. Olympics on Security
President Trump plans to create a task force Tuesday that would boost the federal government's hand in preparations for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, a city where officials have a strained relationship with the president. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump is scheduled to sign an executive order creating a White House task force for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, a White House official said. The task force will focus on security along with other logistics for the Olympic Games, which are scheduled to begin in July 2028 and will be followed by the Summer Paralympics in August. The Department of Homeland Security has classified the games as a National Special Security Event, a designation given to high-profile events to coordinate security plans with the F.B.I., the Secret Service and other federal agencies. It was unclear how closely the task force will work with local officials in Los Angeles, a city led by Democrats. The Trump administration has had a strained relationship with leaders across Southern California, which has been the target of widespread immigration raids that began in June. A temporary restraining order has barred federal agents from making immigration arrests in the region without probable cause, and Los Angeles and several other cities joined a lawsuit seeking to stop the raids. Planning for the Olympics comes as Los Angeles faces a budget crisis worsened by two devastating wildfires in January that destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Organizing the Olympics in any city is a massive undertaking that involves preparing for thousands of athletes and tourists, but officials in Los Angeles have said they are confident the games will be a success. In a statement on Monday, Casey Wasserman, the chairman of the Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, thanked Mr. Trump and his administration for their 'leadership and unwavering support' ahead of the games. The games will mark the first time an American city has hosted the Summer Olympics since Atlanta did in 1996. A deadly pipe bomb exploded during the games at Centennial Olympic Park and injured many. Los Angeles had previously hosted the games in 1932 and 1984. The 2028 Olympics will be held at venues across Southern California, including Long Beach, Inglewood, Carson and Arcadia. At least two events, canoe slalom and softball, will be played outside of California in Oklahoma City.
