A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from revoking temporary protected status for approximately 2,800 Yemeni nationals living in the United States. The ruling prevents the termination of the legal protections that had been in place for the group.
According to the reports, the affected population is described as more than 2,800 in one account and between 2,800 and nearly 3,000 in others. The decision halts the administration's planned revocation of these protections.
The temporary protected status program allows nationals from designated countries to remain in the U.S. due to unsafe conditions in their home nations. Yemen's designation under the program stems from its civil war and humanitarian crisis, though exact renewal dates are not specified in the reports.
This ruling aligns with prior legal challenges to the Trump administration's immigration actions. No specific reasons for the judge's decision are detailed in the available reports. Sources do not provide details on the duration of the block or potential appeals by the administration.
