Overview

• Judge Trina L. Thompson granted a nationwide injunction preserving TPS protections for roughly 60,000 Honduran, Nicaraguan and Nepalese nationals until at least November 18.
• The ruling found that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem failed to conduct an objective review of homeland conditions and that comments by Noem and President Trump revealed discriminatory intent.
• The National TPS Alliance sued on July 7, arguing that the terminations ignored ongoing crises—such as political violence in Honduras—and violated the Administrative Procedure Act.
• Without the injunction, long-term residents with US-born children faced losing work authorization, deportation protection and access to drivers’ licenses and health benefits.
• The Trump administration plans to appeal as the case moves to a merits hearing on November 18, when Judge Thompson will decide whether to overturn the TPS terminations.
