Bummer: Appeals Court Allows Trump Admin To Deport TPS Holders

It’s pretty wild that it takes a court to allow the duly elected POTUS to implement the lawful exercise of their power as authorized by the duly elected Congress

Appeals court allows DHS to end protected status for Nicaraguans, Hondurans and Nepalese residents

A federal appeals court late Wednesday sided with the Trump administration in lifting a stay that was blocking deportations of immigrants from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal as they continue to litigate the legality of the move.

The decision by a three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns a lower court decision that blocked the Trump administration’s plans to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the three countries, saying the plaintiffs had shown there was sufficient racial animus behind the decision.

TPS bars deportation for its recipients, who come from countries the U.S. has deemed to be too impacted by natural disasters or civil unrest to facilitate returns.

The Trump administration celebrated the ruling, which will allow them to strip work permits from TPS holders and begin deportations as courts continue to weigh whether they followed the letter of the law in ending the status.

Some 51,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans who have been in the country for roughly 25 years will need to leave the country by September, while the decision will also impact roughly 7,000 Nepalese citizens.

It’s temporary. Supposed to be temporary

“This is yet another huge legal victory for the Trump Administration, the rule of law, safety of the American public. Temporary Protected Status was always meant to be just that: Temporary,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.

“TPS was never meant to be a de facto asylum system, yet that is how previous administrations have used it for decades while allowing hundreds of thousands of foreigners into the country without proper vetting. This unanimous decision will help restore integrity to our immigration system to keep our homeland and its people safe.”

Now, I wouldn’t mind if the admin took a look at these folks who were allowed to stay way, way, way too long per previous administrations. Do they speak and write English? Have they kept out of legal trouble? Are they self-sustaining, or, do they live off the government? Are they a drain on public systems or provide more? I think perhaps there could be some who we allow to go through the citizenship process, which would include paying all the money.

Do they want to be Americans? If not, they need to need ASAP.
