Appeals court allows Trump to end temporary protections for migrants from Central America and Nepal
Summary
A federal appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to end temporary protections for migrants from Central America and Nepal, affecting thousands awaiting removal.
Key Points
- A federal appeals court in San Francisco upheld the Trump administration's move to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal.
- Around 7,000 migrants from Nepal and over 50,000 from Central America face potential removal as their TPS protections expire.
- The court granted an emergency stay against a lower court's order that had extended TPS protections pending an appeal.
- The debate centers on whether the administration's decision was lawful and based on objective review of conditions in migrants' home countries.
- The ruling is part of a broader Trump-era policy to terminate TPS for hundreds of thousands of migrants from multiple countries.
