US EditionDHS Blocked From Ending Deportation Protection for South Sudanese
Federal court in Boston halted the end of protections for about 300 South Sudanese migrants, citing ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises in their home country.
- On December 30, 2025, a federal judge in Boston blocked the Trump administration from ending South Sudan TPS before January 5, 2026, granting an emergency request.
- After South Sudan's 2011 TPS designation, plaintiffs allege ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises remained unaddressed, prompting the lawsuit against DHS's November 5 termination notice.
- About 232 South Sudanese nationals have been beneficiaries, with 73 pending TPS applicants, and roughly 300 would face deportation starting January 6, 2026.
- The order preserves work authorization and halts deportation steps for South Sudanese nationals, while Homeland Security Department spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the ruling ignored authority and that TPS `was never intended to be a de facto asylum program.`
- The case joins broader litigation over TPS terminations across multiple jurisdictions, including challenges involving Syria, Venezuela, Haiti, and Nicaragua, with a California judge voiding terminations for about 60,000 immigrants.
