A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that temporary protection status (TPS) holders suing the Trump administration can remain anonymous in the case. The judge explained that the exceptional nature of the case, litigation by pseudonym is warranted. This marks the first case of TPS holders suing the Trump administration since it chose to revoke the TPS status of tens of thousands of immigrants from Haiti and Venezuela.
The group representing the TPS holders argue the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) lacks the ability to void TPS extensions that had already been granted. The revocation voided extensions to both Haiti and Venezuela’s TPS designation; additionally, the Trump administration also voided the 2023 designation given to Venezuela. The decision removed deportation protections from tens of thousands of foreign migrants in the U.S.
