Judge Blocks Ending Temporary Protected Status for Migrants [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 3 August 2025 | John Semmens

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem's effort to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of tens of thousands of migrants in the United States from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was challenged by the Soros-funded National Day Laborer Organizing Network on the grounds that "they are being targeted because they are non-white, non-Europeans."

Noem defended the plan to end TPS saying "this temporary program was established by an executive order issued by President Clinton. The premise used to justify TPS was that these illegal immigrants faced significant risk of harm if they were deported to their home countries. Whether the persons designated for this status still merit this protection needs to be reassessed."

Federal District Court Judge Trina Thompson disagreed, arguing that "the fact that TPS has been in place for 30 years establishes a defacto entitlement similar to squatters' rights. Namely, if a person or group of persons has become accustomed to enjoying a privilege for an extended period of time they accrue a right to continue enjoying that privilege and cannot be deprived of it without the Court's approval."

The Judge asserted that "the fact that the Trump Administration has been almost exclusively deporting persons of color creates prima facie evidence that it is motivated by racism. Why aren't any white-skinned Europeans being deported? Until this question can be answered to my satisfaction the protected status of the litigants cannot be discontinued."

Noem pointed out that "the key factor we are using for deciding who to deport is not skin color, but whether an individual is in the country illegally. White-skinned Europeans falling in this category are a very tiny fraction of the estimated 20 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States. When we apprehend any of them they will be deported."

This judges ruling is the most idiotic and stupid ruling yet. Not even the pretense of trying to cite law. Just emotional, “they deserve the American dream and Trump is racist.” This judge needs slapped down hard and fast. She is Katanji Brown level stupid.

So...what good was done in June when the SCOTUS ruled to limit judicial overreach by these activist district judges? Hopefully they’ve just become the judicial equivalent of the boy who cried ‘wolf’ and can be dismissed just as easily. Effem.

Lets see how long that lasts after a dozen illegals stay at Judge Trina Thompson house?.

Trust test for squatters rights.

I'm still mystified why district judges have jurisdiction over the status of aliens at all. Yes, the Constitution uses the term "person" with regard to various provisions in the Bill of Rights, but that is in the context of "We the People of the United States." Aliens are within US jurisdiction, but they are not subject to it in the sense that they are American "subjects" (which should make you squeamish, but that's what the presumptive language of the 14th Amendment really did).

Norm should’ve put a cover sheet on the TPS reports. Didn’t she get the memo?

Once again Congre$$ and the Supreme Clowns of the US answer by saying ZZZZZZZZZZ .... makes me wonder why do we need to pay either of them if they refuse to do their duty? Maybe we should turn both of those governmental organizations over to AI to run and turn Congre$$ and the Supreme Court out to pasture.
