Even though the US Supreme Court ruled that federal district courts likely lack the authority to issue nationwide injunctions, the left keeps judge shopping, and getting those injunctions.

An Obama appointed federal judge blocked the Trump administration for now from ending Temporary Protected Status for more than 1.1 million migrants from Venezuela and Haiti.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco ruled that the change unlawfully “truncated and condensed” the timeline to end temporary legal protections and work permits for people who fled the two Latin American nations.

The Department of Homeland Security reacted to the ruling, "For decades, the TPS program has been abused, exploited, and politicized as a de facto amnesty program. Its use has been all the more dangerous, given the millions of unvetted illegal aliens the Biden Administration let into this country," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"While this order delays justice, [DHS] Secretary [Kristi] Noem will use every legal option at the Department’s disposal to end this chaos and prioritize the safety of Americans," the statement continued. "Under God, the people rule. Unelected activist judges cannot stop the will of the American people for a safe and secure homeland."
