A federal court has sided with the Trump administration after a lengthy legal battle to end the Temporary Protected Status designation for Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the court’s decision to sunset the TPS designations, saying that the policy has been used by Democrats as a de facto amnesty for third-world countries for years.

“Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation,” Noem said in a statement on social media. “TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades. Given the improved situation in each of these countries, we are wisely concluding what was intended to be a temporary designation.” Read more, see Xs, and ruling here.
