BOSTON, April 8 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday halted a move by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration to end legal protections granted to over 5,000 Ethiopians that have allowed them to live and work in the United States.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston marked the latest legal setback for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's efforts to terminate the Temporary Protected Status designation for 13 countries in furtherance of Trump's hardline immigration agenda.
TPS under federal law is available to people whose home countries have experienced natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary events. It provides eligible migrants with work authorization and temporary protection from deportation.
Murphy, who was appointed by Democratic former President Joe Biden, called the termination of TPS for Ethiopia unsurprising in light of an executive order Trump signed upon returning to office in January 2025 that directed DHS to ensure such designations were "appropriately limited in scope."
The judge said that directive from Trump "signals that the outcome of designation, extension, and termination decisions will be preordained, rather than based on a meaningful review of in-country conditions."
He concluded that DHS disregarded the statutory procedures Congress enacted that govern TPS and provided a "pretextual" rationale for ending protections granted to people from Ethiopia, where "armed conflict and natural disasters continue to create dangerous conditions.".....
The Biden administration first granted Ethiopians already in the United States that status beginning in 2022, citing the need to protect the African nation's citizens from armed conflict and humanitarian suffering. The status was extended again in April 2024.

Then when this gets overturned, Rooters will say nothing, constant narrative programming from the LSM
TEMPORARY
Pretty much describes California. They all get the big boot.
I thought it has been established that district judges cannot rule on national policy.
I would also say that anything involving the decision of whether or not to allow a non-citizen to enter or stay falls under the areas of foreign policy and national security and is not within the purview of our courts.
He obviously can. He’s done it with other and SCOTUS accepted. The whole court system is a joke. Everyone knows the answer but they all get to pretend, every time, that this is a new and novel case that needs adjudication all the way to SCOTUS. The President needs to take control and just remove them and point to any number of cases. They don’t have 67 votes to remove him for this and that’s all he should care about at this point.

Doesn’t matter. These judges all know they’ll likely all get overturned, they don’t care. They’re part of the “resistance”, and if they can slow Trump down it plays well for them amongst peers and at cocktail parties.
I find it simply amazing how executive action by one administration cannot be undone by another administration even though it comes from the SAME EXECUTIVE OFFICE.
Unless it’s another administration undoing a Trump executive action. Then it’s fine and dandy.
The judicial branch is long overdue for a reminder that it is simply a co-equal branch of government and not an overlording branch.
Five thousand Ethiopians, we didn’t see that one coming in 1960 America.
Biden-appointed judge at center of repeated clashes with Trump administration issues new immigration block
We shouldn’t have to wait for it to be overturned, it should just be ignored. That’s the problem with half of these rulings. What is the judge going to do about it?
Love it - it’s now out on other sites....
Rot in hell corrupt Judges. Your day will come.
I saw this headline and assumed it would be another outrage from the demon Boasberg. But, as it turns out, not this time.
On Biden’s first day in office, he revoked every executive order issued by Trump, starting with ending the Keystone Pipeline project (which resulted in over 10,000 workers losing their jobs).
Not a single judge intervened, preventing the scumbag Quisling Puppet from doing this. /spit
There's nothing more permanent than a temporary government program.
Yep. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy has been overturned so often that he’s a pancake. Roberts should impose a three times and you’re out rule for judges. Murphy is obviously a political hack.
