Citing 'shithole countries' slur, judge blocks trump admin from ending ... protections.
'Donald Trump’s “shithole countries” slur did indeed come back to haunt him after all.

Chen “found substantial evidence that the administration lacked ‘any explanation or justification’” to terminate Temporary Protected Status for these beneficiaries, The Washington Post reports, adding “there were ‘serious questions as to whether a discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor’ in the administration’s decision, which would violate the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection under the law.”'>>>
