The court halted the termination to prevent risks including detention and deportation for about 1,100 Somali TPS holders while their legal challenge proceeds.
- Judge Allison D. Burroughs in Boston temporarily blocked DHS's termination of Somali TPS, protecting nearly 1,100 beneficiaries' rights. The order sets an expedited schedule for review.
