💨 Abstract

A federal judge in California extended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 60,000 individuals from Central America and Asia, overturning the Trump administration's decision to end their protections. The ruling affects Nepali, Honduran, and Nicaraguan nationals, granting them continued residency and work permits. The judge cited evidence of racial motivation in the administration's decision, stating that "color is neither a poison nor a crime."
