Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Two federal lawsuits accuse the Department of Homeland Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem of illegally revoking temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of migrants.
A pair of pro-immigrant organizations accuse the Department of Homeland Services and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem of violating the rights of 607,000 Venezuelan migrants in federal court.
"Secretary Noem's unlawful actions to strip approximately 607,000 Venezuelans in the United States of their work permits and immigration status under temporary protected status ... ignore the statutory scheme that Congress enacted and instead threaten to force lawfully admitted and TPS-eligible Venezuelans and their families to return to a country experiencing one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the Western Hemisphere," the pro-migrant groups say in the federal lawsuit.
Attorneys with the Washington Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and Cleary Gottlieb are representing plaintiffs CASA and Make the Road New York in the case filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for Maryland.
Another group of Venezuelan TPS recipients filed a similar lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Norther California on Wednesday.
In the Maryland case, plaintiff CASA describes itself as a national immigrant advocacy group with 173,000 members while plaintiff MRNY is a Brooklyn-based pro-immigrant organization.
They say TPS status is established by law and only can be terminated at the end of the designated period or a 60-day notice period.
"The purpose of those restrictions is to provide for the predictability of a fixed period of time and an orderly transition for those who are lawfully present in the United States with TPS," CASA and MRNY argue.

I see they don’t know what the word TEMPORARY means.
I do love the flailing.
“””Attorneys with the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs and Cleary Gottlieb are representing plaintiffs CASA and Make the Road New York in the case filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for Maryland.”””
Now we need to know how much money these two NGO’s got from the Biden crooks.
“It’s CLAWBACK time!”

These people were NOT “lawfully admitted”. They snuck across the border. Then when Biden’s precious Democrats lost the election he issued them work permits. If Biden had the authority to issue the permits then Trump has the authority to rescind them.
ICE certainly knows where a LOT of them are (were?). Remember that within the first few days they arrested thousands of illegal aliens, so ICE already knew where they were but were prevented by the Biden administration from picking them up.
SEEMS TO ME THEY GOT THEIR 60 DAY NOTICE ON NOV 5, 2024.
