In a major legal move, a Venezuelan community group and several migrants have filed a lawsuit against federal immigration officials. They are fighting the Trump administration’s recent changes to immigration rules. The plaintiffs, which include the Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts, the advocacy group Democracy Forward, and three individual migrants, brought their case to a federal court in Boston.
They are specifically challenging the decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans, a policy that had been put in place earlier by the Biden administration. The lawsuit claims that former President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s move to cancel this protected status was both abrupt and illegal.
