Judge rips Trump administration's 'unprecedented action' in new ruling
A federal judge on Monday blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to end the temporary protected status for thousands of Venezuelan immigrants in the United States, the latest in a series of legal blows to hit the administration. U.S. District Judge Edward Chen found in a ruling critical of the "unprecedented action" taken by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, that it appears to be “predicated on negative stereotypes casting class-wide aspersions on their character.” “The Court finds that the Secretary’s action threatens to: inflict irreparable harm on hundreds of thousands of persons whose lives, families, and livelihoods will be severely disrupted, cost the United States billions in economic activity, and injure public health and safety in communities throughout the United States,” the judge wrote. The move would strip nearly 350,000 Venezuelan nationals who have legal status to temporarily work and live in the United States under the program, according to Monday's 78-page order.
