Federal Judge Blocks Trump Move to Revoke Deportation Protection for Thousands of Migrants
The New York Times••world
Key Points:
- A federal judge in San Francisco ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully ended temporary deportation protections (TPS) for migrants from Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua, undermining efforts to limit the humanitarian program.
- Judge Trina L. Thompson found that the decision to terminate TPS was predetermined and failed to consider critical issues such as food insecurity and humanitarian crises in the affected countries.
- The ruling highlighted that the cancellations may have been motivated by racial animus, citing statements from President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that portrayed TPS migrants as violent criminals.
- The National TPS Alliance, which filed the lawsuit, acknowledged the ruling but noted that the cancellations had already caused significant harm, including job losses for individuals like Jhony Silva, a Honduran
