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.

— 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.
I don’t know. How would that make the Executive an “equal” branch, then? Seems it would make SCOTUS the king.
What are those two cases? I would like to be able to cite them to the libs at my workplace.
One is Trump v. Hawaii. Justice Thomas wrote:
"Injunctions that prohibit the Executive Branch from applying a law or policy against anyone…have become increasingly common. District courts, including the one here, have begun imposing universal injunctions without considering their authority to grant such sweeping relief. These injunctions are beginning to take a toll on the federal court system—preventing legal questions from percolating through the federal courts, encouraging forum shopping, and making every case a national emergency for the courts and for the Executive Branch.I am skeptical that district courts have the authority to enter universal injunctions. These injunctions did not emerge until a century and a half after the founding. And they appear to be inconsistent with longstanding limits on equitable relief and the power of Article III courts. If their popularity continues, this Court must address their legality.
There was a similar reversed similar immigration case where the SCOTUS slapped the ninth Circuit for ignoring the previous precedent set in Hawaii. Same thing. Poking their judicial noses in policy decisions where they don't belong.
Can anyone tell me if a ruling like this has any real impact? The three arms of government at Congress, The President and the Supreme Court. Not some federal court. Does this mean the President has to get a ruling from the Supreme court? Why can’t the President simply ignore the ruling?
Andrew Jackson told the Supreme Court to go to hell, when they dared to issue him an order.
I despise printers to no end.
The same with types like Lundberg and also Lotus Notes.
Thank you!!!
Ig....nore
LOL! One of, if not THE funniest scene in that movie! I ‘bout laughed my pants off when they went after the printer! LOL!
Another California liberal judge ....SCOTUS will overturn it as soon as Kavanaugh gets there!!!
