Immigrants from Honduras, Nepal sue U.S. for ending TPS, allege it was racially motivated
NBC "News" ^ | February 11, 2019 | by AP

Immigrants from Honduras and Nepal have filed a lawsuit alleging the Trump administration unfairly ended a program that lets them live and work in the United States.

The lawsuit filed late Sunday in federal court in San Francisco alleges that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's decision to end so-called temporary protected status for the countries was motivated by racism.

The suit - which was filed on behalf of six immigrants and two of their American-born children - also alleges that the department changed how it evaluated conditions in these countries when determining whether immigrants could return there.

"We bring evidence the Trump administration has repeatedly denigrated non-white non-European immigrants and reviewed TPS designations with a goal of removing such non-white non-European immigrants from the United States," said Minju Cho, a staff attorney at Asian Americans Advancing Justice in Los Angeles.

The group is one of several representing the immigrant plaintiffs, who live California, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia and Connecticut.

Well precious snowflakes, if there was legislation on the books and not just an executive order you all might actually have a leg to stand on, since legislation does not exist that officially/formally acknowledges TPS then I guess it just an hallucination....Ssssooooo, how can it be racially motivated if it isn’t a law to begin with...Bye!!!

Temporary means Temporary.

Also...

Non-citizens don’t get full protection under OUR Constitution.

Back home you go!

This is reason #48963 why the border should be closed, and a moratorium on any further immigration, legal or ofherwise, for say, 50 years.

Shut everything down, every bit of it.
