The Donald Trump administration has found itself in yet another conflict with the courts after U.S. District Court Judge Trina Thompson blocked a move by the administration to end the protected status of 60,000 immigrants.
Trump targeted migrants from Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua in the country under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) category. The category was enacted by Congress in 1990 to allow people from “troubled” countries to live and work legally and temporarily in the U.S. It applies to people from nations recovering from natural disasters, experiencing ongoing war, or facing other conditions that make living in their home countries inhospitable.
