Homan says temporary protected status is not meant to be ‘decades long’ – Washington Examiner

tom Homan, the Border Czar, stated that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants is not intended to last indefinitely. Speaking on Fox News, he emphasized that TPS is meant to be temporary and that individuals should return to their home countries once conditions improve. Homan’s comments followed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, which temporarily halted the Trump administration’s efforts to terminate deportation protections for over 600,000 Venezuelans. Homan criticized the judge’s decision as activist and disconnected from the rule of law, asserting that it undermines the purpose of TPS. He noted that the status should only be granted in situations like natural disasters until the affected countries recover.


Homan says temporary protected status is not meant to be ‘decades long’

Border czar Tom Homan said on Tuesday that temporary protected status for migrants is not meant to last forever.

“The law says temporary status. Once the conditions in that country there … change then people should be removed from the United States,” Homan told Fox News’s Fox & Friends. “TPS isn’t meant to be decades long.”

Homan’s comments come after U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, temporarily blocked the Trump administration from terminating deportation protections for over 600,000 Venezuelans.

Chen’s preliminary injunction stymies Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s efforts to end TPS for at least 350,000 Venezuelan nationals and the accelerated expiration of TPS for an additional 250,000.

“It’s another activist judge making a stupid ruling,” Homan said. “It just doesn’t make sense.”

“You know, I’ve been around since 1984,” he continued. “Temporary protected status is never temporary, and President Trump is gonna do his job by rule of law.”

Homan used the example of a natural disaster to bolster his point.

“If there’s a hurricane, and it devastates a part of the country, we’ll give them TPS until that country gets back on their feet,” Homan said. “So, President Trump, who’s promised American people we’re gonna enforce the laws enacted by Congress and signed by the president, we’re gonna use the laws of this country to secure the border and enforce our immigration law.”

People need to follow the rule of law and not the whims of an activist judge, he said.

“If you look at that decision, it’s based on opinion, not the rule of law, and that’s what we need to get back to,” Homan said. “So, look, we’ll litigate it, and we’ll appeal it, and we’ll win.”
