Ninth Circuit lets Trump end legal protections for immigrants from three countries

SAN FRANCISCO (CN) — A federal appeals court on Wednesday ruled that the Trump administration can resume terminations of Temporary Protected Status for more than 60,000 immigrants from Nepal, Nicaragua and Honduras.

A Ninth Circuit panel granted the federal government’s emergency stay it requested after a lower court postponed the termination of the Temporary Protected Status program for the three countries until Nov. 18 while litigation plays out.

However, the three-judge panel denied the government’s request to stay the proceedings of the district court, saying that “management of the docket is within the discretion of the district court.”

“The government has stated that it intends to move for reassignment of this case to a different district judge, but it has not shown that the possibility of such a future motion justifies a stay of proceedings at this time,” the Ninth Circuit said.

The panel — consisting of U.S. Circuit Judge Michael Hawkins, a Bill Clinton appointee, U.S. Circuit Judge Consuelo Callahan, a George W. Bush appointee, and U.S. Circuit Judge Eric Miller, a Donald Trump appointee — did not give any reasoning for its decision and set a deadline of seven days for the parties to submit proposed schedules to govern further proceedings of the case.

The ruling greenlights the Trump administration to go ahead with its termination of TPS status for Nepal, which had been scheduled to expire Aug. 6. ​​Temporary protections for Honduras and Nicaragua are not set to expire until Sept. 8.

“LETS him?????”

Yep, part of the brainwashing that the unelected judiciary is supreme over the executive and legislative branches.

“””LETS him?????”””

That’s mighty white of them to let the President do the job we elected him to do.

Trump doesn’t need their permission. He just allows it for some reason.

I believe Trump and his legal have the thought, probably correctly, that outright and publicly defying these rogue district court judges will result in less favorable rulings at the appeals and supreme levels.

We just have to grit our teeth and get through the process.
