Obama Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis – DHS Responds

A federal judge on Friday once again blocked the Trump Administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis.

The termination was supposed to take effect on March 17, however, a federal judge previously halted the termination.

On Friday, US District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, issued a new administrative stay after the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an emergency motion.

There are more than 100,000 Somalis living in the US. An estimated 5,000 Somalis are eligible for Temporary Protected Status.

The Justice Department responded to the judge’s order.

“Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases—defiance, obstruction, and delay,” Homeland Security general counsel James Percival said.

Last month, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.

The high court, in a 6-3 vote, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary!

Last week, US District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee indefinitely extended a block on the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of Ethiopians.

In 2022, the Biden Regime allowed more than 5,000 Ethiopians to enter the US and live here with special protections.

Their TPS status was extended again in April 2024 and expired on February 13, 2026.

DHS General Counsel James Percival blasted Judge Murphy last week and called his decision a mutiny against the Supreme Court.

“Judge Brian Murphy just entered an order preventing us from terminating TPS for Ethiopia. These district judges are engaged in mutiny against the Supreme Court. It must stop!” James Percival said.

THAT is quite a list - thanks for the hard work you put into compiling that. A lot to think about there.

Who are the plaintiffs and who’s footing the bill for these amended complaints:

“”issued a new administrative stay after the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an emergency motion.””

Why Haitians, Syrians and Ethiopians and an exception made for Somalis?? Because they’re fighting WITH THE TAX DOLLARS THEY’VE STOLEN FROM US?

It must stop!” James Percival said.

When the history of the Trump presidency is written, the outcome will be judged on whether or not things that "must stop" were stopped using State power, or were not stopped at all.

This is why I despise lawyers. “Well the USSC ruled only concerning Haitians and Syrians , they didn’t include Somalians...”. They take these rulings to the word, then they’ll turn around and use generalities when it concerns the 2nd Amendment.

It’s Marc Elias’ group. They brag about the number of cases they’ve filed against the Trump administration. They admit their goal is to slow the administration down even if they are eventually overruled.

Great list!

I take it the pattern you’re trying to highlight is, these are all jews.

However, there are also many jews on our side, though definitely not as many or in as powerful positions. Can you make a list of them as well just for the sake of balance and objectivity?

Well if Trump abides by ruling which he will then I guess it is within his authority. He is yet to ignore any of these hacks. Not a single time

Somalia facts:

  1. 50% larger than California.
  2. Climate similar to California.
  3. Less than half the population of California.
  4. Almost 2.5 times as much coastline as California.

    They have ZERO reason to colonize America.

No Kings! The RATs use this saying to refer to President Trump but the reality is, as with most things RAT, it is a deflection and it is the District Court judges who are acting like kings.

Congress defines their role and it is WAY past time to intervene, including setting term limits and scope of jurisdiction.

So, from the article we glean that there are 100,000 Somalis with only 5.000 eligible for TPS. Fine, deport 95,000 of them now and clean up the rest when this case winds its way to SCOTUS.

I am no Constitutional scholar and don’t claim to be one. How much better this country would be if this judge felt the same constraint based on his own obvious unfamiliarity with that document.

Yet the Congress only has done two things in many years, spend money and increase the debt permanently. (Three if you count getting rich) The judges are a problem but the collective do-nothing Congress is an order of magnitude in self-destruction of our country. They could disembowel the court system if they should desire, but no as they protect the Uniparty.

AI Overview

Congress can move or change federal courts by altering geographic boundaries, reorganizing judicial districts, or even abolishing lower courts.

The U.S. Constitution gives the legislative branch the power to create and structure all federal courts below the Supreme Court.

Powers Over Federal Courts

Geographic Boundaries: Congress can change the map of judicial circuits and districts, split large circuits into smaller ones, or reassign judgeships to different locations.
