The ruling overturned a lower court decision blocking the deportation of 10,000 migrants.
This week, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a ban issued by a lower court, saying that it was an overreach of the court to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from terminating the temporary protected status of 10,000 Afghans and Cameroonians.
“There is insufficient evidence to warrant the extraordinary remedy of a postponement of agency action pending appeal,” the three-judge panel wrote in its opinion.
President Trump’s administration has committed to removing as many illegal aliens from the United States as possible after years of permissive border policies under the previous administration. One of the actions taken by the Department of Homeland Security has been to stop the endless extension of designations under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program that provided temporary relocation to the United States for residents from dangerous countries.
Some who oppose the removal of Afghans from the TPS program are concerned that individuals who served alongside U.S. military forces during the war in Afghanistan may face persecution and death if they return to their home country, which is under Taliban rule.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Noem to seek God’s guidance as she heads the Department of Homeland Security.
- For wisdom for the president and administration officials as they seek to return illegal migrants to their countries of origin.
