San Francisco judge suspends Trump administration's decision to end protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants

A U.S. district judge in San Francisco has dealt a blow to the Trump administration’s decision to rescind temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
The ruling late Wednesday afternoon will relieve immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua and Sudan from the threat of deportation.
It came in response to a class-action lawsuit alleging that government officials approached their decisions about TPS with a political agenda, ignored facts and were motivated by racism. Administration officials deny those allegations, saying the program was never intended to provide a long-term reprieve.
Judge Edward Chen wrote that without court intervention, TPS beneficiaries, many of whom have built lives of more than a decade in this country, would be subject to removal.
“Absent injunctive relief, TPS beneficiaries and their children indisputably will suffer irreparable harm and great hardship,” Chen wrote. “Many have U.S.-born children; those may be faced with the Hobson’s choice of bringing their children with them (and tearing them away from the only country and community they have known) or splitting their families apart.”
Chen said the government had failed to prove that any harm would come from maintaining the status quo.

It should be easy to find harms to the public from these people being here. School districts paying way higher taxes to educate kids from these very foreign countries, welfare recipients, etc.

Hope SCOTUS will reverse this nonsense. The district judge's reasoning seems so weak, maybe even the 9th Circuit will reverse it ... probably too much to hope for.
