A US appeals court has cleared the Trump administration to end deportation protections for migrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, overturning a lower court block.
A federal appeals court on Monday ruled that the Department of Homeland Security can terminate Temporary Protected Status for nearly 90,000 migrants from Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua, marking a major legal victory for the Trump administration. The Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously overturned a December order that had blocked the move, finding the administration was likely to prevail.
“The government is likely to prevail in its argument that the Secretary’s decision-making process in terminating TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was not arbitrary and capricious,” the court said. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem hailed the ruling as “a win for the rule of law,” adding that TPS “was never designed to be permanent.”
