Judge Lifts Final Block on Ending Ethiopian Deportation Protections

A district judge overturned an order preventing the Department of Homeland Security from ending Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopia. This decision removes the final remaining legal barrier to the administration's plan. Approximately 5,000 Ethiopian nationals in the United States will lose their legal work authorization and deportation protections. Ethiopia is the 13th country to lose such protections under the Trump administration. The Department of Homeland Security maintains that the original conditions for the status no longer exist. This ruling allows the government to end protections for thousands of Ethiopians.
