Thread: Federal judge blocks Trump administration from deporting 300,000 immigrants under TPS

"The ruling is a preliminary injunction — it holds the status quo in place until the courts have issued a final ruling in the case Ramos v. Nielsen, on whether the Trump administration violated the law in ending TPS for these countries. But in Wednesday’s ruling, Judge Edward Chen of the Northern District of California indicated that he’s likely to rule against the administration in his final analysis, too."


"At some point, it’s likely that the TPS case will make its way to the Supreme Court, where the administration will likely prevail — if it has appointed a conservative justice by then. In the meantime, the TPS holders who were forced to make plans to leave the country or slink into the shadows after decades in the US now have some hope they’ll be able to stay — but even less certainty about how long that will be."
