Lawsuit challenges Trump administration's ending of protections for South Sudanese migrants
Lawsuit claims DHS violated TPS rules and discriminated against South Sudanese migrants, affecting 232 beneficiaries and 73 pending applicants, despite ongoing humanitarian crises.
- On Dec 23, four migrants from South Sudan and African Communities Together filed a lawsuit in Boston federal court alleging DHS unlawfully risks their TPS loss after January 5.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem published a notice on November 5 terminating TPS for South Sudan, saying the country no longer met designation conditions, after DHS moved to end protections for Syria, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua.
- The suit notes Temporary Protected Status provides work authorization and deportation protection, affecting about 232 South Sudanese nationals and 73 pending applicants, the lawsuit says.
- The lawsuit contends DHS's move breached the governing TPS statute while alleging racial discrimination against non-white migrants in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment.
- Country context includes prolonged violence since 2011, including a civil war killing 400,000, while Reuters reported the filing and that the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond.
