Donald Trump Scores Court Win as Protections Blocked for 60,000 Migrants

A federal appeals court on Wednesday sided with the Trump administration in its bid to end humanitarian protections for tens of thousands of immigrants from Central America and Nepal. The ruling puts on hold a lower court's order that had temporarily preserved Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for nearly 60,000 migrants.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco granted the administration an emergency stay pending appeal, in a setback for immigrant rights groups who contend the government acted unlawfully in terminating TPS designations for nationals of Honduras, Nicaragua and Nepal.
