Federal judge allows Trump administration to end deportation protections for 5,000 Ethiopians

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration may revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 5,000 Ethiopians, lifting the last court order blocking country-by-country TPS terminations. TPS shields foreign nationals from deportation during crises. The ruling reverses the judge's April decision blocking the revocation. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin directed affected individuals to leave immediately or face deportation. About 1.29 million people across 17 countries hold TPS.
