A federal appeals court confirmed a lower court's ruling that halted the Trump administration's attempts to revoke Temporary Protected Status for around 350,000 Venezuelans. The judge found that Department of Homeland Security's actions were based on harmful generalizations and racism. The ruling protects Venezuelans, affirming that their deportation would cause irreparable harm. The court's decision signifies a major victory for immigrant rights and highlights the importance of individual circumstances over broad stereotypes in immigration policy.
"Acting on the basis of a negative group stereotype and generalizing such stereotype to the entire group is the classic example of racism."
"It is evident that the Secretary made sweeping negative generalizations about Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries," the judge said in a 78-page order.
