First Circuit Reverses TPS Blockades for Ethiopia and South Sudan

The First Circuit reversed district-court orders blocking the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopia and South Sudan, ruling that such blocks conflicted with the Supreme Court’s Mullin v. Doe decision and cannot halt TPS terminations on non-constitutional grounds; the three-judge panel (two Biden appointees and one Trump appointee) thus allowed TPS terminations to proceed, a perceived victory for the administration amid ongoing immigration litigation.
