The ruling, by U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of Massachusetts, said the DHS ended TPS \u201cwithout regard for the process delineated by Congress.\u201d The decision comes as TPS holders from various countries are challenging their status in federal court, marking another legal setback to efforts to terminate TPS as part of the Trump administration\u2019s immigration policy.<\/p>\n<p>Under Biden, TPS has allowed more than 1 million people who would otherwise be deportable to remain in the United States. Since the start of Trump\u2019s second term in January 2025, DHS has terminated TPS designations for 13 of the countries that had benefited earlier in Biden\u2019s presidency, with Venezuelans being the largest group among beneficiaries, followed by Haitians and Salvadorans.<\/p>\n<p>Background context notes that TPS was created in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries experiencing disasters or civil strife, enabling beneficiaries to work for limited periods. Biden designated TPS for Ethiopians living in the U.S. in 2022, extended it in 2024, but Trump\u2019s DHS terminated Ethiopia\u2019s TPS designation in December 2025, arguing the country no longer met the criteria. Murphy emphasized that the president\u2019s wishes do not override Congress or the agencies\u2019 statutory obligations.<\/p>\n<p>DHS has defended TPS as a temporary status, while critics quoted in the piece describe the ruling as part of a broader dispute over restoring what they see as integrity to the U.S. immigration system.
