HAMMER: The Trump Administration Wrongly Extends A New ‘Temporary Protected Status’ Amnesty

Josh Hammer

After signing into a law an amnesty omnibus boondoggle as a means of ending a shutdown standoff, it unfortunately appears that the Trump Administration is not yet done with its immigration-related capitulations.

On Thursday, Axios reported that the Administration is opting not to appeal a rogue decision last October from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California that halted the Administration’s efforts to rescind “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) for aliens presently in the United States from Sudan, El Salvador, Haiti, and Nicaragua. As the Department of Homeland Security announced, the Administration is instead planning to abort its plans to rescind TPS. Instead, Homeland Security will automatically extend the TPS amnesty for the affected beneficiaries through January 2, 2020.
