U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of the District of Massachusetts issued an administrative stay on Friday, preserving Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopian nationals while the court reviews the case African Communities Together v. Mullin. This ruling follows a Supreme Court decision that limited lower courts' authority to challenge Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decisions regarding TPS. Judge Murphy's order comes amid ongoing legal battles over the Trump administration's efforts to terminate TPS for various migrant groups, including Ethiopians and South Sudanese. DHS General Counsel James Percival criticized Murphy's ruling, suggesting it undermines the Supreme Court's authority. The TPS designation for Ethiopia was initially granted by the Biden administration in 2022 due to ongoing conflict and humanitarian issues in the country.
