A federal judge on Friday blocked U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration from moving ahead next week with its plans to end temporary legal protections that have allowed nearly 3,000 people from Yemen to live and work in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Dale Ho in Manhattan issued the order at the behest of a group of Yemeni nationals who had sued over the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s decision to strip them effective Monday of the Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, they had been previously granted.
