BOSTON, March 13 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked U.S. President Donald Trump's administration from ending legal protections next week that have allowed nearly 1,100 Somalis to live and work in the United States.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston issued an order postponing the March 17 effective date of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for Somali immigrants.
TPS is a form of humanitarian immigration protection that shields eligible migrants from deportation and allows them to work. Under Trump, the DHS has moved to end TPS for a dozen countries, sparking numerous legal challenges.
Burroughs ruled as the administration continues to wait for the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether it will lift lower-court orders in two other cases that have blocked it from ending TPS for over 350,000 Haitians and about 6,000 Syrians.
