A federal appeals court ruled on Sept. 14 that the Trump administration can phase out humanitarian protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan, many of whom have lived and worked legally in the United States for decades.
In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a 2018 lower court ruling that prevented the federal government from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from the four countries.
