Ahilan Arulanantham, senior counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Southern California, said, “The President’s vile statements about TPS holders made perfectly clear that his administration acted out of racial animus. The Constitution does not permit policy to be driven by racism. We will seek further review of the court’s decision.”
As of today, the Trump administration’s termination of the TPS designation for the group stands, regardless of pushback from other departments of the federal government.
Chamber of Commerce warns that terminating TPS will create a workforce crisis
The Chamber of Commerce has warned that terminating TPS would take away significant chunks of the workforce across multiple industries, effectively creating a crisis. About one-fifth of the construction workforce in Washington D.C. is Salvadorans under temporary protected status.
What effect Trump’s action has on the nation’s workforce remains to be seen, it is still quite possible the administration’s policy will be stopped dead in its tracks by higher courts.
