National TPS Alliance v. Noem

Filed in: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

Summary

An immigrant advocacy organization and a group of individual Venezuelan Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients filed a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance administration, challenging the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to revoke the 18-month extension of TPS for Venezuelan migrants granted under the Biden administration. Plaintiffs are also challenging DHS’ decision to partially vacate the TPS extension and redesignation for Haitian migrants granted under the Biden administration in 2024. Plaintiffs argue the decisions violate the Administrative Procedure Act, as well as TPS holders’ Fifth Amendment right to due process. They request the court declare the reversals of TPS extensions unlawful and order the extensions to remain in effect.
