Biden judge blocking Ethiopian deportations despite SCOTUS ruling clashed with ICE before
Saturday, July 25, 2026
A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals in two separate rulings. The decision came after the Department of Homeland Security announced it was ending TPS designations for both countries. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had previously engaged in disputes with the same judge regarding deportation procedures. The rulings raised questions about the scope of judicial authority to review executive branch immigration decisions.
