A judge is preventing President Donald Trump from rescinding the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty that former President Joe Biden’s deputies granted to 530,000 Venezuelans, including gangsters from Tren de Aragua.
Edward Chen, a U.S. District Court judge from California who was nominated by former President Barack Obama, claimed that the migrants’ economic activity gave them legal status independent of American politics and laws.
“They have have higher educational attrainment that most U.S. citizens (40-54%) have bachelors degrees), have higher labor participation rates (80-96%) [because they are younger, on average] … and annually contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy and pay hundreds of millions, if not billions, in Social Security taxes,” the order stated.
“This is what we mean by judicial tyranny. Biden mass imported illegals from Venezuela, including criminals, gave them welfare and social security numbers. President Trump won an election promising to end the invasion. A rogue marxist judge just ordered Biden’s amnesty continued,” responded Stephen Miller, Trump’s policy chief.
Trump’s intention to begin terminating TPS status next month was thwarted by the judge, who contended that the illegal migrants would suffer if American laws were enforced: “[The court] finds that the Secretary’s actions threaten to inflict irreparable harm on hundreds of thousands of persons whose lives, families, and livelihoods will be severely disrupted. Cost the United States billions in economic activity and injures public health and safety in communities throughout the United States.”
“At the same time, the government failed to identify any real countervailing harm in continuing TPS for Venezuelan beneficiaries. Plaintiffs have also shown they will likely succeed in demonstrating that the actions taken by the Secretary [Kristi Noem] are unauthorized by law, arbitrary and capricious, and motivated by unconstitutional animus. For these reasons, the court grants plaintiffs’ request to postpone the actions pending the filing of adjudication merits of this case,” the judge added.
In actuality, the 530,000-person migrant influx into the US has increased housing costs and decreased wages for American families. Increased economic pressure to prevent the formation of new families and the birth of American children is one outcome.
Some of the migrants from Venezuela have preyed on Americans who have been murdered, like Laken Riley, and their continued presence will result in more crimes against regular Americans.
Among the 530,000 are some members of the criminal gang Tren de Aragua, who have been linked to numerous crimes across the country, including the seizure of at least one apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado.
“The judge is completely disregarding the law … this is a judge who wants to be president rather than judge, responded John Miano, a lawyer who specializes in migration cases.
The TPS law says: “There is no judicial review of any determination of the Attorney General with respect to the designation, or termination or extension of a designation, of a foreign state under this subsection.”
According to Miano, senior judges from the circuit courts, appeals courts, and the US Supreme Court should issue orders to restrain the rogue judge. He added that one of their duties is to oversee the country’s lower judges.
“They don’t want to do it because they all want to preserve that [unconstrained legal] power for themselves. [So] the circuit courts don’t want to be slapping down [lower] judges because they don’t want to be slapped down by the [higher] Supreme Court,” Miano declared.
“They don’t manage [lower judges], and this is why we have chaos in the courts,” Miano added.
The case is National TPS Alliance v. Kristi Noem, Case No. 25-cv-01766-EMC. in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California.
