JUST IN: Obama Judge in San Francisco Blocks President Trump From Revoking ‘Temporary’ Protected Status For Hundreds of Thousands of Venezuelan Migrants
Another black-robed tyrant has invoked his unearned ‘authority’ to sabotage President Trump’s America-first agenda.
As Reuters reported, a U.S. judge in San Francisco on Monday barred the Trump administration from revoking deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants here in America under temporary protected status. His ruling applies nationwide.
TPS status for these migrants was scheduled to end on April 7. They were also set to lose their work permits on April 2.
Senior District Judge Edward Chen, a Barack Obama appointee, slammed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in his ruling for supposedly stereotyping Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries while slobbering over their supposed contributions to America.
“Although the Secretary’s actions appear predicated on negative stereotypes casting aspersions on their character, the undisputed fact establishes that Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries have a higher education attainment than most U.S. citizens, high labor participation rates…And annually contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy,” he wrote in his outrageous ruling. “They also have lower rates of criminality than the general U.S. Population.”
Chen also whined that Noem’s action would endanger the migrants’ livelihoods. Where is this listed in the Constitution?
“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,” Chen added. “At the same time, the government has failed to identify any real countervailing harm in continuing TPS for Venezuelan beneficiaries.”
At this point, it’s unclear whether members of Tren de Agua will be in the clear thanks to Chen’s ruling.
The Gateway Pundit reported in January that Trump revoked deportation protections for at least 600,000 Venezuelan migrants. The order rescinded a previous order from Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, that extended the protections for a further 18 months.
“Before he left town, Mayorkas signed an order that said for 18 months, they were going to extend protection to people on Temporary Protected Status, which meant they were going to be able to stay here and violate our laws for another 18 months,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in an interview. “We stopped that.”
A Venezuelan woman living in New York then filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for ending deportation protection in February.
