BREAKING: A unanimous Ninth Circuit three-judge panel upholds a lower court's order that blocked Sec. Noem's effort to cancel TPS status for Venezuelans. (B/c of a prior SCOTUS order staying most of the district court order pending appeals, though, this basically just sets up a SCOTUS appeal.)

The TPS statute is designed to constrain the Executive, creating predictable periods of safety and legal status for TPS beneficiaries. Sudden reversals of prior decisions contravene the statute’s plain language and purpose. Here, hundreds of thousands of people have been stripped of status and plunged into uncertainty. The stability of TPS has been replaced by fears of family separation, detention, and deportation. Congress did not contemplate this, and the ongoing irreparable harm to Plaintiffs warrants a remedy pending a final adjudication on the merits. AFFIRMED.14
