A U.S. federal judge has temporarily blocked the **Trump** administration from ending deportation protections for nearly **89,000** migrants from **Honduras**, **Nepal**, and **Nicaragua**. The decision cites arguments that these terminations were motivated by racial hostility.

• The ruling impacts approximately 72,000 Hondurans, 13,000 Nepalese, and 4,000 Nicaraguans under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.
• San Francisco-based District Judge Trina Thompson, a Democratic appointee, wrote that the administration failed to adequately consider country conditions and that statements from President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reflected discriminatory beliefs.
• The National TPS Alliance, representing enrollees, had plausibly alleged racial animus as a motivator for the terminations.
