A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's efforts to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of immigrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal, and South Sudan. Judge Trina Thompson of San Francisco declared that the administration's decision to rescind TPS for these nationalities was illegal and criticized the lack of consideration for the countries' conditions preventing return. The ruling affects approximately 89,000 individuals, including 72,000 Hondurans, 12,000 Nepalese, and 4,000 Nicaraguans, many of whom arrived in the 1990s and faced deportation threats. Thompson highlighted that the administration's statements depicted immigrants stereotypically as criminals and burdens on society, reflecting racial prejudice and discrimination. The court found plausible claims from the National TPS Alliance that the rescissions were motivated by racial bias. Beneficiaries like Sandhya Lama from Nepal and Jhony Silva from Honduras expressed relief but also concern over ongoing threats to TPS protections. The decision comes amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to eliminate TPS for other nationalities, including Venezuelans, Haitians, Afghans, Ethiopians, and Myanmar nationals, many of whom now face deportation. A federal judge in Boston recently blocked the termination of TPS for South Sudanese migrants. Advocacy groups argue that the TPS program has provided vital humanitarian protection for over 35 years, and its abrupt termination is unjustified and discriminatory.
