一名联邦法官于周二批准特朗普政府终止约5000名在美国依靠人道主义救济生活的埃塞俄比亚人的驱逐保护措施。
美国地区法院法官布莱恩·E·墨菲驳回了非洲社区合作组织（一家为美国非洲移民发声的维权组织）提出的暂缓终止这项被称为“临时保护身份”的救济措施的请求，该组织目前仍在对终止措施提起法律诉讼。
周二的裁决是一系列法院裁决中的最新一起，这些裁决将剥夺超过100万人的保护身份，而这些人直到最近还被允许在美国合法生活和工作。
临时保护身份为逃离战争、自然灾害或人道主义危机的人员提供临时居留和工作许可，使其无需担心被驱逐。特朗普政府认为这类许可只是临时性的，并非长久解决方案，并批评往届政府一再延长此类许可期限。
今年夏季早些时候，美国最高法院的一项裁决允许政府终止叙利亚和海地移民的临时保护身份，这可能使数十万人面临被驱逐的风险。

2020年末，埃塞俄比亚提格雷州爆发武装冲突，随后蔓延至该国其他地区。非洲联盟估计，这场冲突已造成数十万人死亡。
拜登政府于2022年为近期抵达美国的部分埃塞俄比亚公民提供了为期18个月的驱逐临时保护措施。由于冲突持续，时任国土安全部长亚历杭德罗·马约卡斯于2024年再次延长了这项保护措施。
美国国土安全部原本计划于今年2月终止埃塞俄比亚人的临时保护身份，但该举措在生效前被墨菲法官叫停。
在周二的裁决中，由前总统乔·拜登任命的墨菲法官驳回了埃塞俄比亚移民代理律师提出的新主张，即国土安全部非法终止这项保护措施。
这些律师主张，终止这项措施违反了美国宪法赋予当事人的正当程序权利，并且时任国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺伊姆最初无权撤销埃塞俄比亚的临时保护身份，因为他们认为这项权力实际属于司法部长。
近几周来，其他几家法院也相继批准政府终止海地、南苏丹和索马里移民的临时保护身份。
Judge allows Trump administration to end deportation protections for thousands of Ethiopians

A federal judge on Tuesday cleared the way for the Trump administration to end deportation protections for about 5,000 Ethiopians who had been living in the United States under a form of humanitarian relief.
US District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy denied a request from African Communities Together, an organization which advocates for African immigrants in the US, to postpone the termination of the relief known as Temporary Protected Status while the group’s legal challenge plays out.
Tuesday’s ruling is the latest of several court rulings that will strip protections for more than a million people who until recently had been allowed to legally live and work in the US.
TPS provides people fleeing war, natural disasters or humanitarian crises with temporary permission to live and work in the US without fear of being deported. The Trump administration maintains that those permissions are temporary and not a permanent solution, criticizing previous administrations for repeatedly extending them.
The Supreme Court in a ruling earlier this summer allowed the administration to end TPS protections for immigrants from Syria and Haiti, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands of people eligible for deportations.

Beginning in late 2020, armed conflict broke out in Ethiopia’s Tigray state and later spread to other regions in the country. The African Union has estimated that that conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of people.
The Biden administration in 2022 granted certain citizens of Ethiopia who recently arrived to the US an 18-month temporary protection from deportation. Those protections were again extended in 2024 by then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas because of the ongoing conflict.
The Department of Homeland Security sought to end TPS protections for Ethiopians by this February, but that move was blocked by Murphy before it could take effect.
In his ruling on Tuesday, Murphy, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, rejected new claims pushed by attorneys for the Ethiopians that DHS unlawfully moved to terminate the protections.
The lawyers had claimed that the termination ran afoul of the due process rights afforded to their clients by the US Constitution and that then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lacked authority in the first place to revoke the TPS designation for Ethiopia because, they contended, the power actually rested with the attorney general.
In recent weeks, several other courts have similarly cleared the way for the administration to undo the protections for immigrants from Haiti, South Sudan and Somalia.
