> A federal judge has cleared the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for about 5,000 Ethiopians in the US. Homeland Security said those losing the status must leave immediately or face deportation, while Ethiopian plaintiffs and advocates warned that the continuing crisis in Ethiopia puts thousands at severe risk. A constitutional challenge over alleged racial or national-origin bias may continue.
