An organization based in Silver Spring, Md., known as CLINIC--Catholic Legal Immigration Network--has called the Department of Homeland Security's decision not to include more recent arrivals from war-torn South Sudan (apart from those already here) as part of the Temporary Protected Status designation as "morally reprehensible."

“The historical and practical importance of this ruling cannot be overstated,” according to the deputy director of the A.C.L.U.’s Immigrants’ Rights Project.

Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona moved the Casa Alitas shelter for asylum seekers to the monastery in January. Their previous location in Tucson was not big enough to accommodate the influx of asylum seekers.

A compromise to protect Dreamers and T.P.S. recipients “must not be achieved at the expense of other immigrant children and families,” said Bishop Mario Eduardo Dorsonville-Rodríguez in testimony before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee.

Above all, Mr. Trump’s action is dangerous because it is based on fear.

The Department of Homeland Security has filed notice that it is extending Temporary Protection Status for foreign nationals from El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti and Sudan until Jan. 2, 2020.
