Federal Judge Blocks Trump Bid To End TPS For 6,100 Syrians

A Manhattan federal judge issued an injunction halting the Trump administration’s plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work permits for more than 6,100 Syrians, finding the move likely unlawful and potentially motivated by bias. The order pauses revocations set to take effect this week while a lawsuit proceeds and allows an immediate appeal. Advocates say ending TPS would push vulnerable residents toward deportation to an unsafe Syria; DHS argues conditions permit return. The ruling fits a broader 2025 pattern of courts scrutinizing TPS rollbacks across multiple nationalities.
