In an emergency hearing handed down on Sept. 11, a federal judge ruled that Venezuelans can re-register for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) until 11:59 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 13.
The ruling by Northern California District Court Judge Edward M. Chen allows all current TPS holders from Venezuela the chance to extend their status until Oct. 2, 2026 if they previously registered in 2021 or 2023. Those who registered in 2021 and do not re-register by Sept. 13 are set to lose their protections on Nov. 7.
The Central American Resource Center, an organization focused on serving Latino immigrants in San Francisco, noted in a statement that today’s decision came “after the government failed to make the portal available for individuals to renew their existing protections by the deadline.”
Chen’s ruling comes in the wake of an ongoing court case between TPS advocates and the federal government, the latter of which recently revoked protections for people from Nicaragua, Nepal and Honduras.
Those who qualify can re-register for temporary protected status here, and those with currently pending applications do not need to re-apply.
Campers,
Reminds me of lines from a Yeats poem appropriately named …
‘The Second Coming’
Trump’s Second Coming seems similar …
“Things fall apart;
the centre cannot hold;
mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.”
Hmmmm,
go Niners !!
h.
This is not a comment on my feelings about the TPS, but about the legality:
I find it hard to believe this order will stand. The Supreme Court recently made a major decision striking down nationwide injunctions by district court judges. This is national immigration policy. I don’t believe SCOTUS will allow a single district court judge to decide it.
Yeah. Go to “re-register” so a gang of masked thugs can assault you, kidnap you and send you to Sudan.
