First Circuit Court Overturns Ruling Blocking TPS Termination for South Sudan and Ethiopia

A panel of the First Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has overturned administrative pauses by district court judges on the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for foreign nationals from South Sudan and Ethiopia. The appellate court cited a Supreme Court ruling that found the TPS statute does not allow federal courts to review non-constitutional claims challenging the Secretary of Homeland Security's determination regarding TPS termination. The cases have been remanded to the lower courts for further proceedings consistent with the Supreme Court's precedent.
