Sacramento, October 8 (RHC)-- In the U.S., a California judge has temporarily blocked the Donald Trump administration’s move to end Temporary Protected Status for 300,000 immigrants from Sudan, Haiti, El Salvador and Nicaragua. 

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen said there was no justification for the move and raised President Trump’s previous racist and xenophobic comments, saying there were “serious questions as to whether a discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor.” 

In January, Trump reportedly told lawmakers that Haiti, El Salvador and unspecified African nations were “shithole countries”; and in 2017, he said that recent immigrants from Haiti “all have AIDS.”
