A federal judge in California temporarily blocked the government of Donald Trump by withdrawing deportation protection for tens of thousands of immigrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua.
A scorching statement of 37 pages argued that a decision by the Minister of Interior Security calls Kristi to cancel that temporary humanitarian protection, partly rooted in 'racial and discriminatory animus'.
“Color is neither a poison nor a crime,” explained the ruling of district judge Trina Thompson, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden.
Her decision is a delay for more than 60,000 immigrants who were allowed to live and work legally in the United States under the temporary protected status program. Immigrants from Nepal who are registered for the program would lose their status 5 August and TPS would expire in September for Honduras and Nicaragua.
Thursday's decision will postpone those deadlines until at least November 18 as the legal challenge continues.

In her decision, Thompson mentioned a series of statements of Name and the president reinforced “the discriminatory conviction that certain immigrant populations will replace the white population.”
“By steering the TPS program and immigrants as intruders who are criminal, and by emphasizing the need for migration management, the statements of Secretary call the discriminatory conviction that certain immigrant populations will replace the white population,” Thompson wrote.
In verschillende rechtszaken hebben de belangenorganisaties van immigranten en TPS -houders betoogd dat de Trump -regering expliciet vertrouwde op valse en discriminerende stereotypen – inclusief de claims van de president dat buitenlandse gevangenissen gevangenissen legen om criminelen naar de VS te sturen, en dat immigranten 'het bloed' van het land zijn – om het einde van het programma te rechtvaardigen.
“The freedom to live fearlessly, the chance of freedom and the American dream. Those are all the plaintiffs,” Thompson wrote in her statement. “Instead, they are told to pay for their race, to leave because of their names and to purify their blood. The court does not agree.”

The Congress founded the program in 1990 to offer temporary immigration protection for people who flee the war, natural disasters and “extraordinary and temporary” circumstances in their home country. Beneficiaries may apply for renewable work permits and protection against deportation.
To implement her plans for massive deportations, the administration has pressed to 'de-Lege' tens of thousands of immigrants who have received humanitarian protection to live legally and to work and work in the US
In February it was announced that the TPS administration was terminated for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
In May, the Supreme Court De Trump government allowed TPS to cancel for around 350,000 Venezuelans, while legal challenges continue. In a separate judgment, the highest court of the nation has cleared the way for the administration to withdraw TPS for another 532,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
All in all, the Trump statements gave permission to get the legal status for nearly 900,000 people who are now vulnerable to deportation.
The statements of call reflect her “Animus against immigrants and the TPS program, although individuals with TPS have with a legal status – a protected status that was explicitly provided by the congress with the aim of offering humanitarian aid,” wrote Judge Thompson.
“Their presence is not a crime,” the judge added. “Instead, TPS holders already live in the United States and have contributed billions to the economy by working legally on jobs, paying taxes and paying contributions to Medicare and Social Security.”
Thompson is at least the second court that immediately suggests that the decision -making of call was rooted in racism.
In March, judge in California, Edward Chen, said the “generalization of crime of the Trump government to the Venezuelan TPS population as a whole is unfounded and racism racism based on generalized false stereotypes.”
Arguments of the Trump administration that defend the relocation, including claims that TPS holders are members of the gang of the Aragua, lack “completely evidence support,” Chen wrote.
Instead, the step to cancel that protection seems to be “based on negative stereotypes that throw class -wide aspersies on their character”, including “insinuating they were released from Venezuelan prisons and facilities for mental health care and enormous financial burdens imposed on local communities,” the judge said.
