US EditionAppeals court allows Trump to end temporary protections for migrants from Central America and Nepal
The 9th Circuit Court's unanimous ruling permits ending TPS for 60,000 migrants, enabling deportations as conditions in their home countries are deemed improved by the administration.
- On Wednesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco allowed the Department of Homeland Security to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 60,000 migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal by granting an emergency stay on a lower court injunction.
- The National TPS Alliance sued on July 7, arguing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem unlawfully ended protections and that terminations were racially motivated.
- In a sharply written July 31 order, U.S. District Judge Trina L. Thompson blocked the terminations, finding the administration likely failed to conduct an objective review and plaintiffs would suffer irreparable harm.
- The appeals court victory means the administration can move to remove roughly 7,000 Nepalis whose protections expired Aug. 5, while protections for 51,000 Honduran TPS holders and 3,000 Nicaraguan TPS holders set to expire Sept. 8 will also end.
- The move fits a wider push that has ended TPS for 500,000 Haitian, 350,000 Venezuelan and more than 160,000 Ukrainian TPS holders, with a merits hearing set for November 18.
