LOS ANGELES – The Center for Immigration Law and Policy’s faculty and staff made statements in response to the recent DHS murders in Minnesota and other Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tactics.

Please attribute the following quote to Hiroshi Motomura, the Susan Westerberg Prager Distinguished Professor of Law at the UCLA School of Law and Faculty Co-Director of CILP:

LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument today in a legal challenge to the cancellation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans and Haitians. The case, NTPSA v. Noem, challenges the first actions by the Trump administration to end the congressionally authorized humanitarian protection program. Since then, the Trump administration has terminated TPS for nine more countries and extended TPS for none.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Trump administration’s abrupt decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for individuals from Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua is unlawful, a federal court ruled Wednesday.
