Nearly 350,000 people could soon face deportation after the Trump administration moved to end Temporary Protected Status, or T.P.S., for immigrants from that country.

Judge Edward M. Chen's ruling took aim at the Trump administration's claim that immigrants with Temporary Protected Status are a drain on the U.S.

The Trump administration has fired back at a federal judge in San Francisco who stopped it from revoking deportation protections this month for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in Florida and other states, saying the judge has no authority to block the decision and that it should be addressed on an emergency basis by a higher appeals court.
