A Massachusetts-based Obama judge on Friday lifted her stay in a case brought by Somali holders of temporary protected status (TPS), clearing the way for the Trump administration to begin deporting them.
The Supreme Court decided in a related case that the judiciary had no power to review the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) termination of TPS for Haiti and Syria.
Burroughs wrote that though the Somali plaintiffs had made a compelling case, the high court ruling meant she was “bound … to view things through the Mullin prism,” citing the court case bearing Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s name that ended TPS for the two countries at issue before the Supreme Court.
“Plaintiffs have made a convincing showing that they will suffer irreparable harm if the injunction is withheld … and the balance of hardships and the public interest also favor Plaintiffs, given that the government has made no showing that maintaining TPS status for the duration of this litigation would impose an undue burden,” she wrote.
She knew she was defying the Supreme Court order all along, of course.
Burroughs had previously blocked the termination from taking effect in a lawsuit brought by radicals, four Somali nationals and two advocacy groups, including African Communities Together.
Hardcore leftist Democrats have these crazy groups doing their dirty work for them.
Temporary is supposed to be temporary, and we don’t need pirates and fraudsters. These so-called emergency cases go back home regularly to Somalia, so they clearly aren’t afraid to go back.
The Trump administration can now move forward with ending TPS for Somalia, potentially exposing affected migrants who lack another lawful basis to remain in the U.S. to deportation.
