Boston-based civil rights group sues Trump administration for TPS rollback
Briefly

Lawyers for Civil Rights filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for its aggressive rollback of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants. The complaint argues that the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, lacks the legal authority to rescind TPS previously granted, claiming the decision was driven by racial bias and political interference. This action impacts thousands of immigrants already integrated into American society, fostering a climate of fear and uncertainty among those who rely on the protections TPS provides as they escape humanitarian crises.
A civil rights organization in Boston filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for reversing temporary protection status for Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants.
Lawyers for Civil Rights filed its complaint on March 3, claiming the administration lacks legal authority to rescind TPS extensions granted by previous administrations.
Ciro Valiente stated, 'Many of our members have built their lives here, working and contributing to our community,' emphasizing the uncertainty facing affected individuals.
The lawsuit alleges that the decision to revoke TPS was rooted in 'racial bias and improper political influence,' rather than legal principles.
