A federal judge on Friday once again blocked the Trump Administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalis.The termination was supposed to take effect on March 17, however, a federal judge previously halted the termination.On Friday, US District Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, issued a new administrative stay after the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and an emergency motion.There are more than 100,000 Somalis living in the US. An estimated 5,000 Somalis are eligible for Temporary Protected Status.The Justice Department responded to the judge’s order.“Judge Allison Burroughs just entered yet another order preventing the termination of Somalia TPS. There is no serious debate about what is going on in these cases—defiance, obstruction, and delay,” Homeland Security general counsel James Percival said.

These district judges are engaged in mutiny against the Supreme Court. It must stop!” James Percival said.Judge Brian Murphy just entered an order preventing us from terminating TPS for Ethiopia.
