The ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit permits the government to terminate the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants hailing from Nicaragua, Honduras, and Nepal, while the legal contest is in progress. The trio of judges who endorsed the order did not offer a legal justification.
The ruling promptly revokes protections for Nepalis, which lapsed on August 5. Protections for individuals from Honduras and Nicaragua are set to expire on September 8.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, remarked that this ruling will aid in restoring the integrity of the immigration framework and avert the misuse of Temporary Protected Status as a „de facto asylum system.”
Ahilan Arulanantham from the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy, one of the groups that instigated the lawsuit, condemned the court for its lack of rationale and asserted that the ruling „merely endorses a power grab by the government.”
Federal Judge Trina L. Thompson had initially obstructed the administration’s effort to revoke protections in July, contending forcefully that the government’s action was probably racially motivated.
