Judge approves Trump effort to end South Sudan TPS protections

U.S. District Judge Patti Saris ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with stripping Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of South Sudanese nationals. This decision follows a Supreme Court ruling regarding protections for Haitians and Syrians. Judge Saris rejected efforts by immigrant rights organizations, including African Communities Together, to preserve these deportation protections. The ruling clears the way for the government to end the status that previously allowed these individuals to live and work within the United States.
