Trump's Immigration Impact

U.S. President Donald Trump has overseen actions that led to over 1.5 million immigrants losing their legal status, the fastest decline in U.S. history.
The action affected more than 1 million Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients and 532,000 individuals under humanitarian parole.
Experts warn that the mass termination could severely impact communities and the economy.
Legal challenges are ongoing because immigrant rights groups argue the terminations are unlawful.

Judge Blocks TPS Ending

U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley blocked the Trump administration's plan to end temporary protected status (TPS) for South Sudanese nationals.
Kelley granted an emergency request from South Sudanese migrants and an immigrant rights group, delaying TPS expiration to January 5, 2025.
The lawsuit contends Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) termination of TPS is unlawful and would expose migrants to deportation amid crises in South Sudan, while DHS cites improved conditions.
