Syrians were first granted TPS in 2012 amid the escalation of the civil war, which later resulted in the collapse of Bashar al-Assad\u2019s government last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When announcing the move to end TPS for Syrians, DHS claimed the country remained a \u201chotbed of terrorism and extremism,\u201d arguing that continuing the designation was contrary to U.S. interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 A U.S. federal judge halted on Wednesday the Trump administration\u2019s attempt to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work permits for more than 6,100 Syrians, ruling that the government had likely acted unlawfully in seeking to end the humanitarian protections.
