A federal judge in California agreed to delay the move of Trump administration on Monday Eliminate temporary protected position (TPS) programs that currently mold about 350,000 Venezuela migrants from exile.
Under a decision Homeland security declared by Secretary of Christie NoM in FebruaryThese migrants were slated to lose the work permits and exile security issued by their government on 7 April next week.
But in a scary judgment on Monday, the US District Court Judge Edward Chen ruled in favor of the TPS holders, who filed a case against NoM’s decision and until he accepts the merit of the case, he postponed his action.
Chen called NoM’s decision “unprecedented”, given that the US government did not suddenly terminate the TPS program without an important wind-down period. He said that this step appeared about “dedicated on negative stereotypes” about Venezuela, citing reference in NOEM order Alleged gang members The US and Venezuela migrants from Venezuela put pressure on resources in American communities.
“(T) He finds in the court that the secretary’s action is threatened: the hundreds of thousands of persons cause irreparable damage to those whose life, family and livelihood will be severely disrupted, the cost of billions in the United States economic activity, and the public health and safety in communities across the United States will be injured,” the chain wrote in his ruler.
The plaintiff, the chain continued, is probably going to argue that NoM’s actions are “arbitrary and Makarapat, and inspired by unconstitutional animas.”
CBS News has reached the representatives of the Homeland Security Department to comment on Monday’s court order.
Advocates of migrants praised the verdict, saying that it will curb the plan to carry out the plan of the Trump administration. Biggest exile campaign In American history.
One of the lawyers in the case being listened to by the co-director of the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at the UCLA School of Law, Ahilan Arulantham said, “The court’s decision provides a significant protection against this population on a large scale that the administration has made a significant security against exile.”
In 1990, the TPS, TPS, allows the US government to provide temporary immigration protection to the migrants of nations surrounded by wars, environmental disasters or other crises that make the deports there dangerous. Although it does not place the beneficiaries on a route for permanent legal residence, TPS allows them to apply for renewable work permits and exile.
The Biden administration increased the number of eligible migrants for Afghanistan, Cameroon, Haiti, Ukraine, Venezuela and other countries to create or expand TPS. The Venezuela TPS program is the largest of its kind, covering around 600,000 people through two different designations in 2021 and 2023.
Republican has long criticized TPS programs, arguing that they often extend improperly and they reward illegal immigration as some of them for policy are without proper documents in the country. On the first day of his second term, President Trump ordered the officials to review the TPS programs to ensure that they are “limited in scope”.
After less than two weeks of that order, NOEM announced Last minute expansion of Biden administration Of program. While NOEM admitted in its judgment that some conditions remain in Venezuela quoted by the Biden administration, they determined that it was “contrary to national interest” to continue the TPS policy.
The people of Venezuela enrolled in TPS through the 2021 designation have been slated to keep their positions at least through September.
When it first offered TPS of Venezuela in 2021, the Biden administration cited political and economic uproar in Venezuela under the rule of President Nicolas Maduro. In the previous years, around 8 million people have left Venezuela, residing in neighboring South American countries, America and other countries as part of the largest migration recorded in the Western Hemisphere.
NOEM has also announced a plan to launch a TPS program for hundreds of thousands of hiratians at the beginning of this summer. Advocates have asked the chain to intervene and rule against that step, but the judge has not yet ruled at that request.
