From the New York Post: A federal appeals court ruled in favor of President Trump on Wednesday, allowing his administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than 60,000 migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal.
In a unanimous decision, the three-member panel of judges on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals halted a lower court order that had blocked the Trump administration from eliminating temporary deportation protections and revoking work permits from the migrants.
“The government’s motion for a stay pending appeal … is granted,” Circuit Judges Michael Hawkins ( a Bill Clinton appointee), Consuelo Callahan (a George W. Bush appointee) and Eric Miller (Trump appointee) wrote in their brief, two-page ruling, which did not explain the decision.
Last month, San Francisco-based District Judge Trina Thompson, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, had paused Trump’s planned elimination of TPS for migrants from the three countries until Nov. 18.
In her July 31 order, Thompson played the “race card,” writing, “The freedom to live fearlessly, the opportunity of liberty, and the American dream. That is all Plaintiffs seek. Instead, they are told to atone for their race, leave because of their names, and purify their blood. The Court disagrees.”
The federal appeals court has now thrown out Thompson’s ruling.
