Applaud the Court’s Ruling Protecting Immigrant Rights

In a powerful defense of immigrant rights, a federal judge has struck down the Trump administration’s unlawful attempt to strip Temporary Protected Status (TPS) from nearly 1.1 million people — including 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians.

Judge Edward Chen ruled that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to revoke TPS was “unprecedented” and violated the law, noting that conditions in Venezuela and Haiti are so dangerous that even the State Department advises against travel.

This decision means families who have built lives, homes, and communities here in the United States can continue living and working legally without fear of sudden deportation. TPS was created to protect people fleeing war, natural disasters, and instability — not to be used as a political weapon.

Trump’s effort to dismantle these protections was not only cruel but also illegal. Thanks to the courage of the National TPS Alliance and migrant families who brought this case forward, the courts have reaffirmed that America must honor its commitments to protect vulnerable people.

Add your name to applaud this ruling, stand with Venezuelan and Haitian migrants, and defend TPS as a lifeline for families seeking safety and dignity.
