A recent ruling by a judge in California has provided a measure of relief for some immigrant families in our area. Judge Edward Chen of the United States District Court, Northern District of California placed an injunction against plans by the Trump administration to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Haiti, Sudan, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Immigration activists in our area, however, are warning against complacency on the part of TPS recipients and urge that they take steps to protect their right to remain in the U.S. legally even if Trump’s plans do come to fruition.

Threats of Deportation for Long-Time Residents

Many of these individuals arrived in the U.S. under TPS and have established families and careers in this country. Some have been in residence in the U.S. for more than 20 years. By ending TPS, the Trump administration could break up families and cause serious disruption to the lives of American citizens and immigrants alike. The ruling by Judge Chen offers some temporary relief for these vulnerable individuals. Touching base with an Orlando immigration lawyer, however, is the best way to protect yourself and your family against detention and deportation if this proposed Trump policy is implemented in the future.
