Federal Judge Postpones Cancellation of Protected Status for Ethiopian Immigrants

HeadlineApr 10, 2026

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has postponed the termination of temporary protected status for about 5,000 Ethiopian immigrants living in the U.S., after determining the Trump administration likely disregarded the rules Congress set up for the TPS program. Wednesday’s ruling comes as the Supreme Court is poised to hear oral arguments later this month on challenges to the Trump administration’s attempts to cancel protected status for over 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
