A federal court has halted the Trump administration's attempt to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for around 350,000 Venezuelan refugees. Judge Edward Chen's ruling criticized Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's actions as 'motivated by unconstitutional animus' and noted the potential economic and social harm. The court found the administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act, failing to justify the decision effectively. The ruling preserves humanitarian protections for these individuals, highlighting the government's inability to prove any adverse consequences of maintaining TPS.
U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to rescind TPS, emphasizing potential harm to Venezuelan refugees and communities.
The judge highlighted that no real countervailing harm was identified by the government in continuing TPS for Venezuelan beneficiaries amid the ruling.
