A California federal judge ruled Thursday to postpone the termination of Temporary Protected Status for approximately 61,000 immigrants from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal, many of whom have been living in the United States for decades.

A federal judge has ruled to postpone the Trump administration's termination of deportation protections for tens of thousands of migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua amid litigation.

The Trump administration has said the conditions in the three countries have improved, therefore the immigrants can return back to their homelands. But federal Judge Trina Thompson suggested Trump's motives are discriminatory.
