Judge allows Trump administration to end deportation protections for thousands of Ethiopians
- On Tuesday, District Judge Brian Murphy allowed the President Donald Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for over 5,000 Ethiopians living and working in the United States.
- A June Supreme Court decision curtailed judicial review of Homeland Security efforts to end TPS designations for 13 countries, including protections previously granted to migrants from Haiti and Syria.
- Murphy rejected arguments that Homeland Security lacked authority to terminate the designations, aligning with recent decisions by other judges regarding migrants from South Sudan, Myanmar, and Somalia.
- James Percival, general counsel for Homeland Security, hailed the decision in a social media post, declaring, "All TPS terminations are in effect!"
- Although Murphy dismissed procedural challenges, he allowed plaintiffs to continue litigating claims that the termination violated the Fifth Amendment by targeting migrants based on national origin or race.
