Temporary Protected Status
29 proceedings tracked · Active
Temporary Protected Status lets the Secretary of Homeland Security shield nationals of a designated country from removal when conditions there make return unsafe. Beginning in 2025 the administration moved to vacate extensions and terminate designations for Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Cameroon and Somalia. The resulting litigation runs on parallel tracks, one per country, raising a common question: how much of the TPS statute commits these decisions to the Secretary's unreviewable discretion, and how much of it the APA still reaches. Sanchez v. Mayorkas supplies the doctrinal backdrop.
