法官以未遵循法律程序为由叫停终止也门公民临时保护的举措
临时保护身份(TPS)出于人道主义原因为也门公民提供免于被驱逐的保护
特朗普政府曾寻求终止13个国家的临时保护身份

5月1日(路透社)——一名联邦法官周五阻止了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的政府于下周推进终止临时法律保护的计划,该保护措施已允许超过2800名也门公民在美国生活和工作。

曼哈顿联邦地区法官戴尔·侯应一群也门公民的要求发布了这项禁令,这些公民起诉美国国土安全部,要求该部于周一取消他们此前获得的临时保护身份(TPS)。

根据联邦法律,临时保护身份适用于本国遭遇自然灾害、武装冲突或其他极端事件的人员。该身份可为符合条件的移民提供工作许可和免于被驱逐的临时保护。

就在侯发布这项裁决的两天前,由保守派占多数的美国最高法院受理了特朗普政府提起的上诉,该上诉针对此前类似的裁决——这些裁决阻止政府终止对超过35万名海地公民和6100名叙利亚公民的同类人道主义保护措施。

饱受战争蹂躏的也门

由前民主党总统乔·拜登任命的侯表示,他通常会等待最高法院给出指导意见,但他称“当下的紧急情况”要求他立即作出裁决。

侯称,也门的临时保护身份持有者都是遵纪守法的人,他们得以避免返回一个十年来大部分时间都“饱受内战蹂躏”的国家。

他承认,延长临时保护身份的决定需要定期审查。但他表示,即将卸任的国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆在终止也门的临时保护身份前,未按法律要求与相关政府机构进行磋商。

“国会通过立法确立了此类审查的程序,而部长在此案中并未遵守该程序,”他写道。

国土安全部的一位发言人在一份声明中表示,允许也门公民留在美国不符合国家利益。“‘临时’就是临时的,最终决定权不会由 activist judges(激进法官)从法官席上立法决定,”该发言人说道。

作为特朗普激进移民执法议程的一部分,该政府曾试图终止13个国家的临时保护身份认定,但一再被法官的裁决阻挠,这些裁决基本阻止了政府的相关行动。

约有2810名也门公民持有临时保护身份,另有425人的临时保护身份申请正在审理中。

民主党总统巴拉克·奥巴马政府于2015年首次将临时保护身份授予已在美国的也门公民。此后,国土安全部多次将也门重新纳入临时保护身份认定范围。

但在今年2月,国土安全部宣布终止也门的临时保护身份。

Summary

Judge cites failure to follow legal process in ending Yemeni temporary protection
TPS protects Yemenis from deportation for humanitarian reasons
Trump administration has sought to end TPS for 13 countries

May 1 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday blocked U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration from moving ahead next ‌week with plans to end temporary legal protections that have allowed more than 2,800 people from Yemen to live and work in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Dale Ho in Manhattan issued the order at the behest of a group of Yemeni nationals who ​had sued over the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s decision to strip them effective Monday of the ​Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, they were previously granted.

TPS under federal law is available ⁠to people whose home countries have experienced natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary events. It provides eligible ​migrants with work authorization and temporary protection from deportation.

Ho issued the ruling just two days after the conservative-majority U.S. ​Supreme Court took up the administration’s appeal of similar rulings that have prevented it from ending the same type of humanitarian protections to more than 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,100 from Syria.

YEMEN RAVAGED BY WAR

Ho, who was appointed by former Democratic President Joe ​Biden, said he ordinarily would wait for the Supreme Court to provide him guidance, but said “the exigencies of ​the moment” require him to rule now.

Ho called TPS holders from Yemen law-abiding people who have been allowed to avoid returning ‌to a ⁠nation that, for most of a decade, “has been ravaged by civil war.”

The determination to extend TPS to them is subject to periodic review, he acknowledged. But he said now-former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed, as required by law, to consult with relevant government agencies before ending TPS for Yemen.

“Congress has, by statute, established a process ​for such review, which the ​Secretary failed to adhere ⁠to here,” he wrote.

A DHS spokesperson, in a statement, said allowing the Yemeni nationals to remain in the United States was not in the national interest. “Temporary means temporary ​and the final word will not be from activist judges legislating from the bench,” ​the spokesperson ⁠said.

The administration has sought, as part of Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement agenda, to terminate the TPS designations for 13 countries, only to be stymied by repeated rulings by judges who have largely blocked its efforts.

About 2,810 Yemeni nationals hold TPS, ⁠and ​another 425 have pending TPS applications.

Democratic President Barack Obama’s administration first extended ​TPS to Yemeni nationals already in the United States in 2015. DHS has repeatedly since then redesignated Yemen for TPS.

But in February, DHS ​said it was terminating TPS for Yemen.
