Summary
A federal judge has lifted a temporary hold on the Trump administration’s plan to end deportation protections for Ethiopian immigrants, allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for select countries. The decision affects Ethiopian nationals who have been living and working in the US under the program. The ruling comes after the US Supreme Court allowed the administration to terminate similar protections for thousands of people from Haiti and Syria. DHS has stated that conditions in Ethiopia have improved, and those with terminated TPS should leave the US or face deportation.
