A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday evening, temporarily blocking the Trump administration from ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program for over 300,000 immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras and Sudan.
U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled that the program's termination would result in "irreparable harm and great hardship" for its beneficiaries and their families. The TPS program protects migrants from countries suffering from crises such as health epidemics, war or natural disasters.
Chen wrote the administration must maintain TPS from those four countries as a lawsuit challenging the program's termination goes on, CNN reported.
BREAKING: US district court issues preliminary injunction blocking Trump Admin’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, Salvadorans , Hondurans, and Sudanese. @ACLU @ACLU_NorCal @ACLUSoCal
— Cecillia Wang (@WangCecillia) October 4, 2018 Over 1,000 TPS recipients from Sudan were set to lose their protections on Nov. 2, while others were going to lose their status next year.
Chen during hearings last week agreed that the Trump administration's decision to end the program could reflect a racial bias against migrants from non-white nations, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Immigrants from 10 nations currently benefit from TPS, including 263,000 Salvadorans, 5,300 Nicaraguans, 46,000 Haitians and 1,000 Sudanese, the Chronicle reported. Trump since taking office has announced plans to terminate protected status for most of those who currently have it.
TPS beneficiaries have been protesting the administration's plans to end the program for months, with dozens of truck drivers in Los Angeles stopping traffic last week to demonstrate against the cancellation.
Truck drivers in Los Angeles stopped traffic to protest the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status. Around 60 peaceful protesters were arrested. The cancellation of TPS could lead to the deportation of over 300,000 people – the majority from El Salvador, Haiti, and Honduras.
Annnnnd, another example/reason for more conservative judges....
These judges need to have a few thousand of these illegals camped in their backyards . . .
get rid of these illegals, they’re all parasites on welfare.
another example of the damage the Kenyan has done to our country with his liberal, open border activist judges and scam temporary refugee programs.
get em out - NOW
We need federal judges to stop federal judges.
Forum shopped liberal district court judge who figures he can get away with a national injunction now that the Supreme Court makeup is 4 to 4 with Kennedy gone and when it is appealed a majority is required to overturn a district court injunction.4 to 4 does not do it. That is why it is so important to get the fifth conservative on the court
LOL!!!
Trump should stop announcing he is terminating certain programs. Instead, he should decline to enforce.
There are plenty of lawyers who think like you, except for the killing all lawyers part.
They are not citizens.
We have been generous long enough.
Send them home.
there goes Chen’s shot at the Supremes. He might as well retire now - his career for naught.
Lol!
I was waiting for that.
Odungo appointed....
“And if Chen doesn’t like it, send him back too.”
-
Back where,he was born here?
.
HTF!!!!!
Damn, if feels good to be a gansta’
“President Trump should appeal, but also tell this judge to go to Hell.”
I think he should just tell the judge to go to Hell, or better yet ignore this unconstitutional affront to the separation of powers.
I am hoping that after the midterms with more support in both the House and Senate our president will start dealing with these rogue justices appropriately.
“The only court that should have the power to order a President to do,or not to do,something is SCOTUS.”
Dead wrong. Each branch has their enumerated powers given to them by the Constitution. The courts have no business involving themselves with immigration.
This judge needs to be removed from the bench, tried for crimes against the republic and HANGED.
