President Donald Trump’s administration has illegally ended protection against deportation for nationals of Haiti and Venezuela, according to a new lawsuit.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and moving to end the protection for numerous Haitians violates federal law, immigrant advocate groups said in the March 3 suit, which was lodged in federal court in Massachusetts.
