An appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed in its plan to strip temporary protected status (TPS) designations for Afghans and Cameroonians in the United States.

The ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit denying an emergency motion to postpone the TPS terminations places the status of thousands of TPS grantees from the two countries at risk.

While the appellate court suggested the plaintiff – the immigration advocacy group CASA Inc. – has made a "plausible claim for relief," the court said on Monday that it cannot stop the government from acting as the case continues in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.

"We agree with the district court that CASA, Inc. has stated a plausible claim for relief with regard to the alleged 'preordained' decision to terminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Afghanistan and Cameroon, and that the balance of the equities and the public interest weigh in favor of CASA, Inc," the judges wrote. "At this procedural posture, however, there is insufficient evidence to warrant the extraordinary remedy of a postponement of agency action pending appeal."
