The DHS indicated that it will appeal the decision and criticized the ruling, calling TPS a "de facto amnesty program" that has been "abused, exploited, and politicized."

The Trump administration's reckless attempt to strip legal protections from over one million people violated basic due process and federal law. Secretary Noem made these life-altering decisions without consulting relevant agencies or conducting proper analysis of dangerous conditions in Venezuela and Haiti. This ruling upholds the rule of law and prevents the administration from sending people back to countries facing humanitarian crises, political instability, and violence that even the State Department warns against.

This is judicial activism at its worst, with an unelected Obama appointee blocking the will of the American people who voted for secure borders. The TPS program has become a backdoor amnesty system that allows millions of unvetted migrants to remain indefinitely. Noem has every right to end these Biden-era extensions that were nothing more than political theater designed to circumvent proper immigration procedures.
