A group of immigrants with temporary legal status in the U.S. is suing the Trump administration after the Department of Homeland Security terminated the legal protections for some 60,000 people from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal.

Seven plaintiffs from the affected countries, along with the National TPS Alliance, an advocacy group, have filed the lawsuit against DHS and the agency’s secretary, Kristi Noem, alleging that the terminations were, at least in part, motivated by racial animus and violated the Constitution.

Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal have experienced natural disasters that have made it unsafe for their nationals to return home, leading to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations. On Monday, the Trump administration terminated the designation for those from Nicaragua, with a DHS spokesperson saying in a news release that the status “never meant to last a quarter of a century.” It also terminated TPS for Honduras, with Noem similarly saying that TPS was designed to be “just that — temporary.” Just over a month ago, DHS terminated the designation for Nepal.

The terminations, the lawsuit said, will impose “extraordinary and irreparable harm” on TPS holders if the decisions aren’t reversed.
