On December 22, 2025, advocates filed a challenge to the Trump administration’s termination of TPS for South Sudan in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. On December 30, 2025, the federal district court blocked (“stayed”) the termination of TPS for South Sudan. This means that until a higher court decides otherwise, South Sudanese TPS holders continue to enjoy TPS protection from deportation and related work authorization.

The court case led by African Communities Together and four South Sudanese TPS recipients continues, African Communities Together et al. v. Noem et al., No. 25-cv-13939-PBS (D. Mass.). The plaintiffs are represented by Muslim Advocates and Haitian Bridge Alliance.

The lawsuit will continue and additional details will be known in the coming months. The judge has not yet made a final decision on this case. Asylum applications may still be filed.
