On January 22, 2026, African Communities Together and three Ethiopian nationals filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s termination of Ethiopian TPS. On January 30, 2026, a federal district judge in Massachusetts blocked the termination of TPS for Ethiopia as the court case continues. This case is African Communities Together et al. v. Noem et al., No. 26-cv-10278-BEM (D. Mass.). As such, Ethiopian TPS holders continue to enjoy protection from deportation and related work authorization until a higher court decides otherwise.

Additional details will be known in the coming weeks. Asylum applications may still be filed. Please stay tuned for further developments and updates to this website.
