Judge halts Homeland Security plan to end Temporary Protected Status for South Sudan
Fox News
A Massachusetts judge halted DHS’s plan to end TPS for South Sudan, preventing hundreds from losing legal status and facing deportation as the case proceeds.

The lawsuit, which was brought by African Communities Together and several South Sudanese TPS holders, argued that ending TPS would immediately strip hundreds of South Sudanese nationals of lawful status, expose them to deportation and potentially cause irreversible harm if they are returned to South Sudan. She has covered major national crises, including the L.A. wildfires, Potomac and Hudson River aviation disasters, Boulder terror attack, and Texas Hill Country floods.
Judge Angel Kelley, who was nominated by former President Joe Biden in 2021, determined the issues were "legally complex" and carried "serious, long-term consequences, including the risk of deadly harm."
