A Federal Judge in Massachusetts on 4/8/2026 Postponed the Termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopians living in the U.S., Finding the Trump (R) Administration Unlawfully Attempted to End it.
In the Order, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy said the Trump Administration Terminated TPS "without regard for the process delineated by Congress."
Under the Biden (D) Administration, Thousands of Ethiopian Immigrants in the Country were Granted the Status beginning in 2022. The Designation Allows Immigrants to Temporarily Live and Work in the U.S. without Fear of Deportation because of Armed Conflict, Environmental Disasters, or other Humanitarian Emergencies in their Home Country. The Status was Extended in 2024.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Announced in 12/2025 that Ethiopia "no longer met the conditions" for the TPS designation and the protections would Terminate on 2/13/2026.
"Fundamental to this case — and indeed to our constitutional system — is the principle that the will of the President does not supersede that of Congress," the judge Wrote in 4/6/2026's Order.
"Presidential whims do not and cannot supplant agencies' statutory obligations. Yet, in this case, Defendants have disregarded both that foundational principle and the statutory scheme enacted by Congress," He Continued.
It's the Latest Setback on the Issue for the Trump Administration, which has sought to Terminate the Designation for 13 Countries, as part of Trump's Crackdown on Immigration.
The Supreme Court will Hear Arguments in late 4/2026, on the Administration's Efforts to Rremove the Status of Haitian Nationals, and Syrian.
