The federal judge delays the expiration

On Thursday, a federal judge in San Francisco prevented the Trump administration, at the present time, from ending the temporary protest of people from Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal.
Judge Terina Thompson Postopones end until NovemberWhen a hearing is held to discuss the advantages. It affects about 60,000 immigrants whose temporary reserved situation, which begins on August 5, was appointed. Most of them live in the United States for more than 20 years.
In its ruling, Thompson dismantled the Trump administration’s actions.
"Freedom of living without fear, the opportunity of freedom, and the American dream. This is all the plaintiffs seeking," Tomson wrote. "Instead, they are asked to release their race, leave for their names, and purify their blood. The court does not agree."
The Ministry of Internal Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under the law that created TPS, the presidents have the authority to grant the protected situation to immigrants from countries that suffer from the conditions that will prevent them from returning safely, such as natural disasters and civil wars.
In 1999, Honduran and Nicaragua were granted for the first time after Hurricane Mich caused widespread destruction. Nepal was added to the TPS list after a devastating earthquake in 2015.
Since he took office, the Trump administration has moved to end the TPS appointment to many countries, including Venezuela and Haiti.
Spokesman for the Ministry of Internal Security He said earlier this month The decision to finish TPS for Nicaragua "It restores integrity in our immigration system and ensures that TPS is still temporary."
"The temporary protected situation was not intended to last a quarter of a century," The spokesman said. "The effects of a natural catastrophe that affect Nicaragua in 1999 are no longer exist. The environmental situation has improved enough to be sufficiently safe for the citizens of Nicaragua to return to their homes."
At the same time, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs advised American citizens to: "Reconsidering travel to Nicaragua due to the enforcement of arbitrary laws, the risk of illegal detention, and the availability of limited health care."
Regarding the end of TPS for defenders, Minister of Internal Security Christie Nom He mentioned in a press release earlier this month: "It is clear that the Honduras government has taken all the steps necessary to overcome the traces of Hurricane Mitch, almost 27 years ago."
"Honduran citizens can return safely home, and DHS here to help facilitate their voluntary return," Nayyim said.
Judge Tomson said in its ruling that the Trump administration decisions to end the programs "It was based on the design in advance to finish the TPS program, instead of an objective review of the country’s circumstances."
Courts throughout the country, Including the US Supreme CourtI heard challenges to finish TPS for different groups.
