A federal judge in Boston, Brian Murphy, has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s plan to end deportation protections for over 5,000 Ethiopians in the U.S., delaying a February 13 deadline. This ruling allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide records on its decision-making process regarding the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopia, amidst claims of unlawful action and discrimination against non-white immigrants. The case joins broader legal challenges against the administration’s immigration policies, which aim to revoke protections for many individuals from various countries. The ruling follows similar decisions regarding TPS terminations for Venezuelans and Haitians, amid ongoing protests against deportation practices.
