US EditionJudge pauses Trump administration plans to end temporary legal protections for Venezuelans
- On Monday, a federal judge in San Francisco, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, temporarily halted the Trump administration's plans to end Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, which was scheduled to expire on April 7.
- The Trump administration sought to end TPS, while former President Biden had sharply expanded its use, reflecting differing immigration policies that are currently at the forefront of many disagreements.
- This order provides relief for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans with TPS, although Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had announced plans to terminate TPS for an estimated 250,000 additional Venezuelans in September.
- Judge Chen quoted that Noem's actions threaten irreparable harm, disrupt lives, cost billions, and injure public health, while Noem described Venezuelans as 'dirt bags' and conflated TPS holders with gang members; however, Sarah Vuong of the Justice Department asserted Noem's actions were motivated by border and national security objectives, not racism.
- Chen's nationwide order, which came in response to a lawsuit by the National TPS Alliance and TPS holders, suggests the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in demonstrating that Noem's actions are unauthorized, arbitrary, capricious, and motivated by unconstitutional animus, as the government failed to identify any real harm in continuing TPS for Venezuelan beneficiaries, with the vast majority of TPS holders having no criminal history.
