华盛顿 —— 一名联邦法官周五阻止了特朗普政府撤销针对超过2800名获准临时在美国生活和工作的也门裔公民的法律保护，认定国土安全部今年早些时候终止这项福利的行为可能存在违法情形。
纽约联邦地区法官戴尔·何支持了16名持有或正在申请临时保护身份的也门裔公民的诉求。他同意在相关诉讼进行期间维持该项目继续运行。
由前总统乔·拜登任命的何法官认定，前国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在终止也门的临时保护身份前，未遵循国会规定的审查他国状况的法定程序，可能违反了法律。
他在判决书中写道，国土安全部“公然无视国会制定的程序要求，以非法方式终止了临时保护身份”。
也门于2015年奥巴马政府时期首次被列入临时保护身份名单，当时的认定依据是该国持续存在武装冲突，也门裔公民无法安全返国。国土安全部曾多次延长驱逐保护期限，包括在特朗普首届政府任期内。最近一次重新认定是在2024年，理由是该国仍存在持续的内战和人道主义危机。
美国国务院针对也门发布了四级旅行警告，提醒美国公民不要前往该国，原因包括“恐怖主义、社会动荡、犯罪、健康风险、绑架事件和地雷威胁”。
尽管如此，诺姆仍在今年2月宣布将终止也门的临时保护身份。国土安全部在3月发布的联邦公告中称，“尽管也门仍存在特殊且临时的状况，但终止也门的临时保护身份认定是必要的，因为允许也门裔公民……继续临时留在美国违背国家利益”。
该原定于5月4日生效的终止计划，将给获得授权在美国生活和工作的也门移民留出60天时间离境，否则将面临逮捕和驱逐。但何法官的裁决目前暂停了这一生效日期。
在判决书中，这名法官表示，国土安全部在最终决定终止也门的临时保护身份项目前所遵循的程序“被简化绕过，违反了《临时保护身份法案》，并破坏了《行政程序法》旨在保障的公众问责机制”。
他写道：“也门的临时保护身份持有者并非‘杀手、寄生虫和 entitlement 瘾君子’。他们是普通的守法公民，之所以获得留美身份，是因为政府多次依照《临时保护身份法案》认定，也门正处于持续的武装冲突中，因此强制他们返国会对其安全构成严重威胁。”
法官继续说道：“这一认定需接受定期审查并可予以变更。但国会通过立法确立了此类审查的程序，而本案中的部长未遵守该程序。”
也门是特朗普政府已终止临时保护身份的13个国家之一。最高法院正在审理其撤销叙利亚和海地公民保护身份的提案，并于本周三就该案听取了口头辩论。预计将于6月底或7月初作出判决。
美国国会于1990年设立了临时保护身份项目，授权国土安全部长为因战争、自然灾害或其他“特殊且临时状况”无法安全返国的外国公民提供针对特定国家的临时救济。
救济期限最长为18个月，但部长可延长临时保护身份的认定期限。国会同时对可获得临时保护身份的人群作出了限制，排除了曾被判重罪或一项以上轻罪、参与贩毒、属于恐怖组织，或其留美行为会危害国家安全或外交政策的外国公民。

Judge blocks Trump administration from ending deportation protections for 2,800 Yemenis

Washington — A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from revoking legal protections for more than 2,800 Yemeni nationals allowed to temporarily live and work in the United States, finding that the Department of Homeland Security likely acted unlawfully when it moved to end the benefits earlier this year.
U.S. District Judge Dale Ho in New York ruled in favor of 16 Yemeni nationals who either have Temporary Protected Status or are applying for the protection. He agreed to keep the program in place while their lawsuit proceeds.
Ho, appointed by former President Joe Biden, found that former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem likely violated the law when she failed to adhere to the process mandated by Congress for reviewing a country’s conditions before she moved to end TPS for Yemen.
The department, he wrote, “acted unlawfully by terminating TPS in clear disregard of the procedural requirements established by Congress.”
Yemen was first designated for TPS in 2015 during the Obama administration, based on the determination that there was an ongoing armed conflict that made the country unsafe for Yemeni nationals to return to. DHS re-upped the deportation protections several times, including during the first Trump administration. The most recent redesignation came in 2024, which cited an ongoing civil war and humanitarian crises.
The State Department has a Level 4 travel advisory in place for Yemen, which warns Americans not to travel to the country because of “terrorism, unrest, crime, health risks, kidnapping and landmines.”
Nonetheless, in February, Noem announced TPS would be ended for the country. In a federal notice published in March, DHS said that “while Yemen still experiences extraordinary and temporary conditions, the termination of Yemen’s Temporary Protected Status designation is required because it is contrary to the national interest to permit Yemeni nationals … to remain temporarily in the United States.”
The program was set to end May 4, giving Yemeni immigrants authorized to live and work in the U.S. 60 days to leave the country or risk arrest and deportation. But Ho’s order now halts that effective date.
In his ruling, the judge said that the process undertaken by DHS before it ultimately decided to end the TPS program for Yemen was “short-circuited, violating the TPS statute and frustrating the public accountability that the [Administrative Procedure Act] is designed to protect.”
“TPS holders from Yemen are not ‘killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.’ They are ordinary, law-abiding people who have been granted status to be here because the Government has repeatedly determined, in accordance with the TPS statute, that Yemen is subject to an ongoing armed conflict, and that, due to that conflict, requiring them to return would pose a serious threat to their safety,” he wrote.
The judge continued: “That determination is subject to periodic review and can be changed. But Congress has, by statute, established a process for such review, which the Secretary failed to adhere to here.”
Yemen is one of 13 countries that the Trump administration has revoked TPS for. The Supreme Court is considering its effort to roll back the protections for Syria and Haiti and heard arguments in that case Wednesday. A decision is expected by the end of June or early July.
Congress enacted the TPS program in 1990. It gives the homeland security secretary the power to provide temporary, country-specific relief to foreign nationals who cannot safely return to their home countries because of war, natural disaster or other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.”
Relief is limited to up to 18 months, but the secretary can extend TPS designations. Congress also restricted who can receive TPS, excluding foreign nationals who have been convicted of a felony or more than one misdemeanor; engaged in drug trafficking; belong to a terrorist group; or whose presence in the U.S. would endanger national security or foreign policy
