The judge blocks Trump from stripping the deportation protections for 350,000 Venezuelani: “Smacks of Racism”
Donald Trump‘S administration It is temporarily blocked by temporary legal status by tens of thousands of Venezuelans, a move that a federal judge said that “racism Smacks”.
Almost 350,000 Venezuelani had to lose their temporarily protected status on April 7, cutting the authorizations to live and work in the country and cancel the protections against their removal from the United States.
That directive from the secretary to national security Kristi calls Threat of “inflicting irreparable damage to hundreds of thousands of people whose life, families and means of subsistence will be seriously interrupted, cost billions of the United States in economic activities and will hurt public health and safety in communities in the United States”, According to Monday’s decision By the district judge Edward Chen in California.
The National TPS Alliance – which has sued on behalf of tens of thousands of people with temporary protection status of living and working legally in the country – it is likely that you show that the actions of the administration are not “unauthorized by the law, arbitrary and capricious and motivated by unconstitutional Animus”, according to Judge Chen.
Topics of the Trump Administration who defend the move, including the statements that TPS holders are Members of the Tren de Aragua bandThey are “fully lacking in evidentiary support,” wrote Chen.
Instead, the move to cancel those protections appears to be “based on negative stereotypes that launch estimates on class on their character”, including “insinuating that they have been issued by Venezuelan prisons and in mental health structures and have imposed enormous financial charges on local communities”, according to the judge.
“The generalization of crime to the Venezuelan TPS population as a whole is free of foundation and the racism -based racismims based on false generalized stereotypes,” wrote Chen. “In addition, the owners of TPS Venezuelans contribute fundamental to national and local economies: they work, spend money and pay taxes.”
The Chen ruling, which was appointed on the bench by Barack Obama, will temporarily maintain the protections of the deportation that have been extended under Joe Biden, citing the violence and political and economic instability under President Nicolas Maduro.
The Trump administration has a week to submit a notice of an appeal while the complaints discuss against a similar move that strips the protections for another 25,000 Venezuelan and 500,000 Haitians at the end of this year.

Trump secretly invoked the Alien Enemies Act while three flights were preparing starting from the United States on March 15 bringing the dowry of Venetian immigrants on board.
A federal judge temporarily blocked those removals, ordering the planes to turn around before reaching their destination, a notorious prison in El Salvador.

Judge James Boasberg is destined to determine if the administration has consciously challenged his orders of the court and the administration officials have invoked a “privilege of state secrets” – generally used to prevent the release of information that could compromise national security – to avoid answering the judge’s questions about flights.
The Trump administration has expelled another 17 alleged members of the band in El Salvador during the weekend, although they seemed to have been removed pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act, not of the Alien Enemies Act.
