President Donald Trump was handed another court loss on Tuesday after a federal judge temporarily halted his bid to strip 300 South Sudanese nationalsof protected status, according to a new report.
The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts issued an order prohibiting the administration from deporting the nationals, which she argued would cause them “irreparable harm.”
“These significant and far-reaching consequences not only deserve, but require, a full and careful consideration of the merits by the Court,” Kelley wrote.
Department of Homeland Security officials blasted the judge’s order.
“Yet another lawless and activist order from the federal judiciary who continues to usurp the President’s constitutional authority,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin posted on X. “Under the previous administration Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation.”
