A federal appeals court in San Francisco granted a stay allowing the government to proceed with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order freezing a lower court ruling that would have vacated Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to end the protections.

The TPS for Hondurans is and has been a sick joke. Hurricane Mitch was in 1998. Yeah, you heard that right.

No one wanted to turn it off because it might offend the Hondurans.

The only people the Hussein/Biden/Harris Regime DID NOT protect were White Americans, and any “incorrect” people of color who strayed from the liberal victim plantation.

They had no choice.

These judges are learning that they can't use the "arbitrary and capricious" excuse when the adminstration does nothing. "Arbitrary and capricious" only applies to overt acts, not decisions to do nothing.

In the case of TPS, Secretary Noem let the status expire by declining to issue extensions. That decision is not reviewable. The only thing they blocked was trying to rescind a TPS early, but that just gets them to September 2026 when the remaining contested TPS will expire naturally.

I think if we could get Nepal Gurkha immigrants it would be a good thing:

wtf Are people from Nepal doing here?

AI says>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Total Nepali Population in the U.S.

About 225,000 people in the U.S. identified as Nepalese in 2023 according to U.S. Census estimates (people identifying as Nepalese alone).

Most of this population are immigrants — roughly 175,000 are foreign-born and the rest are U.S.-born.
