A federal judge on April 8 blocked the Trump administration’s planned termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopians in the U.S., halting a decision that had been scheduled to take effect Feb. 13 at 11:59 p.m. but was enjoined amid litigation. Judge Brian Murphy wrote that DHS terminated Ethiopia’s TPS “without regard for the process delineated by Congress,” framing the dispute in constitutional terms, while DHS criticized the ruling—calling the judge “radical, Biden-appointed”—and said Ethiopia no longer meets TPS criteria and that “temporary means temporary.”
