A federal appeals court ruled late Monday that the Trump administration may deport hundreds of thousands of illegal alienswho previously received temporary protected status for "humanitarian" reasons, in some cases decades past the event that spurred the temporary reprieves.
The 2-1 ruling by a panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned an injunction protecting aliens from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan from being deported pending litigation.
The Trump administration ended their protections, saying their home countries were now safe for them.
The decision affects 300,000 non-citizens here illegally -- and a staggering 200,000 of their children who were born here during the "temporary" protection, and are considered U.S. citizens.
Many have lived in the U.S. for decades, as administrations of both parties have kicked the can down the road with repeated extensions -- until President Trump acted to stop it.
Judge Consuelo M. Callahan, writing for the majority, said federal law does not permit the judiciary to second-guess decisions by the secretary of Homeland Security on which countries' citizens receive protected status.
"To the extent the TPS statute places constraints on the Secretary’s discretion, it does so in favor of limiting unwarranted designations or extensions of TPS," wrote Callahan, an appointee of President George W. Bush. She was joined by Judge Ryan D. Nelson, an appointee of President Trump.
Judge Morgan Christen, an appointee of President Obama, dissented.
She said the Trump administration had changed policy and practice without public review. She described the administration's action as "an abrupt and unexplained change."
She noted that the lawsuit challenging the deportation notices said they were motivated by racial and ethnic bias, an assertion presented without evidence.

A nice START!
It says that the ruling ‘affects’ 200,000 of their children who were born here, and are considered American Citizens.
How will that be dealt with?
Well, their home countries ARE prob safer than NY or Washington *the two of them or Chicago or...
Justice Roberts to the “rescue” on appeal. He never lets the left down.
Bttt
Fabulous! But how long before it gets before John Roberts so he can strike it down?
At some point, the Court will have to review the 14th Amendment.
Too bad the 4th Circuit can’t be redeveloped like this as well.
this anchor baby crap needs to end
never what the constitution intended
non citizens/illegals deliberately havng kids in order to stay here
no other countries do this idiotic thing for a totally sane reason, these are not citizens of the country and have no loyalty or anything in common or even care to integrate with us
they just want to be parasites and use the country for their own selfish reasons
Send them home, parents should take their kids with them. No anchor babies, no residency, no citizenship.
Meh, its a 2-1 ruling. The En Banc that is almost certainly coming will reverse this.
I have very mixed feelings about it - and it is certainly not right for people to come here specifically so that their children become ‘anchor babies’.
You are correct that the Amendment was never intended to be used in the way it has been by many foreign nationals.
It’s long overdue that the Supremes address this - but perhaps the moment is becoming more ‘ripe’.
this anchor baby crap needs to end

That’s the first thing that H1B trash from India do. Make anchor babies then become de-facto American citizens as they will never go home.
5 Years ago, I could never dream I’d being saying this, but...
I love the 9th Circuit!
Still more work to do on the 9th. It's 16 Democrat appointed to 13 Republican appointed judges now after 10 Trump appointments were filled.
They can
—go home with parents, and return when adult
—be handed over to guardianship of US citizens
I’m good with either one.
Trump has flipped OUT this NINTH CIRCUIT! Another anti leftist ruling..!
