A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending deportation protections for 230 immigrants from South Sudan. The decision by Judge Angel Kelley came about a week before their temporary protected status, TPS, was set to expire, citing in the ruling “serious, long-term consequences, including the risk of deadly harm,” if the immigrants are deported to South Sudan. The United Nations has warned of escalating armed conflict in South Sudan and widespread food insecurity in the region.
