Judge postpones termination of TPS for Ethiopians in U.S.
Read Original Source
Washington — A federal judge in Massachusetts on Wednesday postponed the termination of temporary protected status for Ethiopians living in the U.S., finding the Trump administration unlawfully attempted to end it. In the order, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump administration terminated the designation "without regard for the process delineated by Congress." Under the Biden administration, thousands of Ethiopian immigrants in the country were granted the status beginning in 2022.
