A federal judge ruled Friday that a computer failure may have hindered some Venezuelans’ attempt to re-register online Biden-era deportation amnesty Just before the deadline, he ordered the Department of Homeland Security to give them another 24 hours. Here are the court’s ruling on Venezuela’s temporary protection status:
Court ruling
Due to technical issues, the federal judge ordered registration extension:
- Obama Judge Edward Chen appointed U.S. District Court for Northern California Region
- He said in his new ruling that the government is illegally delaying compliance
- Online registration system dropped 12 hours on Wednesday, and should be the last day of registration
- Judge Chen ordered the government to allow another 24-hour registration period to make up for the SNAFU, and said the applications will be deemed to be submitted on time
Government’s legal argument
The Justice Department seeks automatic ruling:
- Justice lawyers argue that law allows automatic rulings to give governments a chance to be organized and appeal
- Judge Chan disagrees with the government’s position
- He ruled: “What was argued with the government is that the final judgment put aside the proxy action and took effect immediately.”
- Court rejects government attempt to delay execution
Personal influence
Venezuelan workers lose their jobs due to registration confusion:
- Immigration advocates say government delays on committee sow chaos of immigrants hoping to take advantage of TPS
- TPS grants deportation and allows immigrants to obtain work permits
- Immigration groups point out a woman whose name is Noelia, who said she was unemployed on Amazon because the government website says Venezuela’s TP
- She said she tried to show Mr. Chen’s company copy, but to no avail
Employment consequences
Workers hope that court orders will restore job opportunities:
- “I hope today’s order means I can resume work so that I can support myself,” the woman said in a statement
- The case illustrates the actual consequences of legal uncertainty in TPS identity
- Workers caught between contradictory information about the availability of plans
- Employment Verification System reflects outdated information about program status
Complex legal struggle
TPS litigation involves multiple court levels:
- TPS proves to be one of the more complex legal battles
- The Supreme Court put aside Judge Chan’s early rulings that the government acted too frivolously in ending the plan’s plan.
- Judge Chan returns with a new ruling last week
- Multiple court interventions bring ongoing uncertainty to plan participants
