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 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.
