Ethiopian TPS Protections Now Ending | Spokane News
Description
A federal judge has greenlit the U.S. government’s move to end Temporary Protected Status for over 5,000 Ethiopians, clearing the final legal hurdle after the Supreme Court set a precedent by allowing similar terminations for Haiti and Syria. DHS argues conditions in Ethiopia now permit safe return, but advocacy groups warn lives are still at grave risk amid ongoing conflict. While the court rejected claims that only the Attorney General can terminate TPS, it allowed plaintiffs to continue challenging whether the decision was racially or nationally biased — raising alarms about potential discrimination against non-white immigrant communities. The Biden administration granted TPS in 2022, but now says it’s time to end protections — even as critics say the crisis remains unresolved.
