A judge is blocking President Donald Trump from rescinding
the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty that former President Joe Biden's
advisers granted to 530,000 Venezuelans, including Tren de Aragua gang members.
U.S. District Court Judge Edward Chen of California,
nominated by former President Barack Obama, affirmed that migrants' economic
activity granted them legal status independent of U.S. policy and law.
“They are more educated than most U.S. citizens (40-54%)
with college degrees), have higher labor force participation rates (80-96%) due
to their youth, on average… and contribute billions of dollars annually to the
U.S. economy and pay hundreds of millions, if not billions, in Social Security
taxes,” the order stated.
