U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco expressed concerns about the legality and potential racial motivations behind the Trump administration's plan to deport Haitian and Venezuelan migrants with Temporary Protected Status. At a recent hearing, immigrant advocates argued against revocation of protections for these communities, highlighting the absence of evidence linking TPS holders to criminal activity. Comments from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were cited as indicative of racial stereotyping. Judge Chen's inquiry reflected the deeper implications of the administration's stance on national security and immigration.
"Aren't these statements indicia of a view that really engages in racial stereotyping?" Judge Chen questioned an administration lawyer during the hearing, highlighting concerns of racism.
"They can't just pretend that it's national security," asserted Arulanantham, emphasizing the lack of evidence linking TPS holders to crime, during his argument to the court.
