Court: United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit Filed: 2026-07-29 The first-circuit reversed the district court’s order postponing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopia. The court held that under *Mullin v. Doe*, 609 U.S. ___ (2026), the TPS statute’s judicial-review bar applies to all non-constitutional claims challenging the Secretary of Homeland Security’s determination regarding the termination of a TPS designation. Because the plaintiffs’ challenge was based solely on such non-constitutional claims, the district court lacked jurisdiction to issue the postponement order. The practical consequence is that the government’s request for summary reversal is granted, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with *Mullin*.
