Lawyers for Civil Rights filed the suit Monday, seeking to protect legal status for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants who have fled their home countries.

The Trump administration unlawfully ended temporary protected status for thousands of Haitian and Venezuelan nationals living in the United States, according to a new complaint filed Monday.

Several Venezuelans and three immigrant rights groups have sued President Donald Trump's administration over its decision to end temporary protections against deportation for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants living in the United States.

Advocates argue that the administration’s decision to end TPS for Venezuelans in April and September is unconstitutional and racially discriminatory.

Venezuelans with temporary legal protections have sued the Trump administration over its decision to strip about 350,000 immigrants of their status by April 7. Temporary Protected Status allows people to legally reside and work in the U.

Lawyers allege that Trump cannot revoke an extension that has already been granted, and that his decision is being driven by racial and ethnic bias.

On Monday, Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) in Boston announced it had filed a federal lawsuit to block the Trump administration’s decision to phase out Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants.

Three immigrant advocacy organizations, represented by Lawyers for Civil Rights, filed a federal lawsuit on Monday to block the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants announced by the administration of President Donald Trump last month.
