DEVELOPING: Judge Blocks Trump Admin's Last-Minute Deportation Plans for Venezuelans, Haitians.

BREAKING: Judge Blocks Trump Admin's Deportation Plans for Venezuelans, Haitians A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protections for over 1 million people from Haiti and Venezuela, granting them the right to live and work in the US. US District Judge Edward Chen of San Francisco issued the ruling on Friday, blocking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's decision to revoke protections. The ruling affects approximately 600,000 Venezuelans whose protections expired in April or were set to expire on September 10, as well as about 500,000 Haitians. The judge scolded Secretary Noem for revoking the protections, saying it would send people "back to conditions that are likely to cause them harm." The temporary protections were put in place by former President Barack Obama and were maintained by his successor, but the Trump administration had announced plans to end them. This decision was met with opposition from immigration advocates who argued it would lead to widespread deportations. The current status of these individuals remains unchanged, and they will be allowed to stay and work in the US for now. The next developments are unclear, as the judge's ruling is likely to be appealed by the Trump administration.
