US EditionUS appeals court says Secretary Noem's decision to end protections for Venezuelans in US was illegal
The 9th Circuit found Noem lacked legal authority to end TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians, affecting hundreds of thousands, citing evidence of racial and national-origin bias.
- On Wednesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem exceeded her authority by ending TPS for Venezuela and Haiti, stating the statute does not allow vacating an existing designation.
- The TPS program was created under the Immigration Act of 1990 to protect people fleeing extraordinary conditions, with designations lasting six, 12, or 18 months, while Noem said she ended protections as conditions in Venezuela and Haiti had improved.
- The panel found evidence of stereotype-based reasoning and racial animus in Noem's actions, while Judge Kim Wardlaw wrote that her `unlawful actions have had real and significant consequences` for TPS holders from Venezuela and Haiti.
- Though issued Wednesday, the ruling lacks immediate practical effect as the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Kristi Noem's decision to take effect; TPS designations end February 3 while a federal judge in Washington may rule on a Haiti pause.
- TPS prevents deportation and permits work but not citizenship, and Judge Kim Wardlaw noted procedural safeguards ensure predictability amid crises like Haiti's widespread hunger and gang violence.
