![who rely on TPS. The record is replete with examples of hard-working,
contributing members of society-
-who are mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, and
partners of U.S. citizens, pay taxes, and have no criminal records—who have been
deported or detained after losing their TPS. Other TPS beneficiaries have lost their
jobs after the Secretary stripped them of their work authorization forms, leaving
them with no ability to provide for their families. Some beneficiaries, unable to
work legally, have now lost their homes, rendering them and their families
homeless. The Secretary's actions affect physicians, artists, automotive
mechanics, food service employees, construction workers, students, and thousands
of others who "didn't come [to the United States] for hand-outs," but "to work
hard." The Secretary's actions have left hundreds of thousands of people in a
constant state of fear that they will be deported, detained, separated from their
families, and returned to a country in which they were subjected to violence or any
other number of harms.
The Secretary's actions fundamentally contradict Congress's statutory
design, and her assertion of a raw, unchecked power to vacate a country's TPS is
irreconcilable with the plain language of the statute. The district court correctly set
aside the Secretary's unlawful actions.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreifnl346sfgv4k2bjj5w76kwr7xwu6mneewu2cccsar64zfeu775de@jpeg)
![IV. Effect of the Supreme Court's Emergency Stay Orders
At the outset, we address the Government's argument that we are bound by
the Supreme Court's twice determination that the Government is likely to succeed
on the merits. However, the Supreme Court's emergency stay orders did not
expressly decide the issue of whether the Government was likely to succeed on the
merits of this case, so we reject the Government's argument that the stay orders
control our determination of this case. See Noem v. National TPS Alliance, 606
U.S. -.., 2025 WL 2812732, at *1 (Mem.) (2025) ("Although the posture of the
case has changed, the parties' legal arguments and relative harms generally have
not. The same result that we reached in May is appropriate here.").
Unlike NTPSA I and NTPSA II, our opinion today for the first time addresses
solely the merits of Plaintiffs' claims. Because "[wle can only guess as to the
Court's rationale when it provides none," we are wary of the possibility that the
Court granted the Government's emergency stay application due to its assessment
of the balance of the equities or the parties' respective irreparable harms, rather
than its assessment of the merits. NTPSA II, 2025 WL 2661556, at *2-3.
The Supreme Court's unreasoned stay orders were "not conclusive as to the merits." Trump v. Boyle, 606 U.S...., 145S. Ct. 2653, 2654(2025). While they may have informed "how [we] should exercise [our] equitable discretion in like
cases," in this appeal, we are confronted with legal questions, not equitable ones.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreidehi36m6ebxeqjmukhheqwhe4n4tlyjfwgqbdqxb3zbkq3aga4hu@jpeg)
![Id.; cf. Noem v. National TPS Alliance, 2025 WL 2812732, at *2 (Jackson, J., dissenting) (arguing that the Court "misjudge[d] the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors," rather than addressing the merits). We therefore conclude
that the Supreme Court's October 3, 2025, stay order is not controlling as to the outcome of this case.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:beirch5u3d3ybvuct27mtyxd/bafkreig4ar6jtocrh67ev5nubolxcoo6arnolyszr5frx663thucwnyczm@jpeg)
