The Donald Trump administration has been temporarily banned from stripping the temporary legal status of tens of thousands of Venezuelans, a step that a federal judge said “racist slaps”.
Nearly 350,000 Venezuelans have been set for a temporary protected position on April 7, cutting their ears to live and work in the country and cancel protection against their deportation from the United States.
This guidance is from the Minister of Internal Security Christie Naim threatens to “inflict an irreplaceable damage to hundreds of thousands of people whose lives and families will be disrupted and their livelihoods, and the United States costs billions of United States in economic activity, and wounding public health and safety in societies throughout the United States,” According to the two decision From the provincial judge, Edward Chen, California.
The National Alliance – which filed a lawsuit against tens of thousands of people who have a temporary protected position to live and work legally in the country – is likely to appear that the administration’s actions are “not authorized by law, arbitrary and volatile, and its defense by non -constitutional animation,” according to Judge Shane.
Chen wrote that the arguments from the Trump administration that defends this step, including allegations that TPS holders are members of the Tren De Aragua gang, “completely lacking proof support.”
Instead, this step appears to cancel this protection “based on the negative stereotypes depicting aspirations at the level of separation in its nature”, including “the hint was released from Venezuelan prisons and mental health facilities and imposed huge financial burdens on local communities,” according to the judge.
Chen wrote: “The generalization of criminality to the Venezuelan population of TPS as a whole is baseless from the seams of racism on the generalized stereotypes,” Chen wrote. “Moreover, Venezuelan TPS holders are decisive contributors to both national and local economies: they work, spend money and pay taxes.”
The ruling issued by Chen, which was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama, will continue temporarily to protect the deportation that was extended during the era of Joe Biden, noting violence and political and economic instability during the era of President Nicholas Maduro.
In front of the Trump administration, one week has to make a notice of appeal, as prosecutors argue against a similar step that stripped protection for another 25,000 Venezuele in addition to 500,000 Haiti later this year.
Trump separately tries to deport the Venezuelan that ice agents accused of being members of Trin de Aragoa by using the Law of Foreign Enemies. Trump secretly summoned the law of foreign enemies, as three trips were preparing to leave from the United States on March 15, carrying dozens of Venezuelan immigrants on board.
A federal judge temporarily prevented that removal, and ordered the aircraft to wrap before they reached their destination, a notorious prison in El Salvador.
The appeal judges supported Boasberg’s restrictions, and the administration asks the Supreme Court to intervene.
Judge James Bouasburg is scheduled to determine whether the administration has intentionally challenged the court orders, and the administration officials summoned the “state secrets concession” – usually used to prevent the release of information that may lead to a waiver of national security – to avoid answering the judge’s questions about flights.
The Trump administration deported 17 alleged gang members to El Salvador during the weekend, although they seemed to have been removed under the Immigration and Nationality Law, not the Law of Foreign Enemies.
