DHS Blocked From Ending Deportation Protection for South Sudanese
The ruling preserves work authorization and protection from deportation for hundreds of South Sudanese under TPS amid ongoing humanitarian crisis, the court stated.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Boston blocked the Trump administration's plan to end TPS, granting an emergency request by four South Sudanese migrants and African Communities Together to prevent expiration after January 5.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem published a notice on November 5 saying South Sudan no longer met TPS conditions, which was first designated in 2011 and repeatedly renewed amid conflict.
- TPS provides eligible migrants with work authorization and temporary protection from deportation, benefiting about 232 South Sudanese nationals with 73 pending applicants, the lawsuit says.
- Plaintiffs argue in court that DHS violated the TPS statute and exposed South Sudanese to deportation amid South Sudan's dire humanitarian conditions.
- This case comes amid broader legal challenges to TPS rollbacks as the administration moves to end TPS for countries including Syria, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua, while United Nations experts reported human suffering in South Sudan 'has remained unchanged.
