The Ninth Circuit has vacated the injunctions preventing the government from implementing the planned termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for citizens of multiple countries. The court found that the decision to terminate TPS is non-reviewable by judicial authorities, absent constitutional concerns. The court further found that the district court abused its discretion in concluding that Plaintiffs presented at least serious questions on the merits of their Equal Protection claim, which was premised on the assertion that the decision to terminate TPS was motivated by racial animus.
