Summary
Thursday's order keeps the Trump administration's Nov. 6, 2025 termination of South Sudan's TPS designation null and unenforceable for now while Judge Patti Saris considers new filings.
Plaintiffs asked to amend their case to pursue constitutional discrimination claims after the Supreme Court's June 25 ruling barred APA-based challenges to TPS terminations but left Equal Protection claims alive.
DHS and conservative legal allies blasted the stay as defiance of the high court, arguing Saris lacks jurisdiction after Mullin v. Doe and urging emergency appeals if needed.
The dispute now returns toward the 1st Circuit, with the temporary protection for South Sudanese migrants likely to face another test over whether lower courts can preserve TPS after the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision.
