Overview

• New York City, the City of San Diego and 11 other local jurisdictions joined a coalition led by Los Angeles County to file amicus briefs in National TPS Alliance v. Noem
• The filings urge a federal judge to enjoin Department of Homeland Security plans to let TPS protections lapse on August 5 for Nepali nationals and September 8 for Honduran and Nicaraguan holders
• Officials warn ending TPS would strip legal status and work authorization from over 60,000 migrants, expose many to deportation and force U.S. citizen children into family separations
• The brief contends that TPS holders contribute billions in economic activity, pay significant taxes and bolster local public health and safety systems
• This legal push follows a recent New York federal injunction preserving Haitian TPS and reflects mounting municipal opposition to DHS rollbacks under President Trump
