"The record is replete with examples of hard-working, contributing members of society -- who are mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, and partners of U.S. citizens, pay taxes, and have no criminal records -- who have been deported or detained after losing their TPS," Wardlaw wrote.

Judge Mendoza concurs to call Trump and Noem racist xenophobes.

“It is our duty to say what is already plainly known to the public.”
National TPS Alliance v. Noem, No. 25-5724 JAN 28 2026 MOLLY C. DWYER, CI U.S. COURT OF APPE. Mendoza, Circuit Judge, with whom Wardlaw, Circuit Judge, joins as to Parts I and II, concurring: I wholeheartedly agree with Judge Wardlaw's opinion and its conclusion that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem exceeded her authority under 8 U.S.C. § 1254a when she vacated and terminated Temporary Protected Status ("TPS") for Venezuela and Haiti. I believe Judge Wardlaw's explanation is sufficient to dispose of this case. However, I write separately to underscore why we must not permit government agencies to justify their actions with pretext, especially when that pretext is cloaking animus on the basis of race or national origin. When decision-makers repeatedly broadcast their impermissible reasons for making a decision, we should heed the fitting words of Maya Angelou and "believe them the first time." Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey Show (Harpo Productions broadcast, June 18, 1997). And as the Supreme Court cautions, we cannot allow agencies to eschew their obligation to engage in reasoned decision-making and instead use administrative procedure to reach preordained outcomes. I therefore author this concurrence to explain why the Secretary's actions would not stand had we reached the merits of Plaintiffs' Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") claims. We cannot ignore the backdrop of extraordinary statements by direct decision-makers when assessing whether the agency's proffered rationale was genuine or merely a pretext for an ulterior (and impermissible) motive. The record is replete with public statements by Secretary Noem and President Donald Trump that evince a hostility toward, and desire to rid the country of, TPS holders who are Venezuelan and Haitian. And these were not generalized statements about immigration policy toward Venezuela and Haiti or national security concerns to which the Executive is owed deference. Instead, these statements were overtly founded on racist stereotyping based on country of origin. Stereotyping on the basis of race or country of origin can never form the basis of "reasoned decision making" nor can it provide a "rational connection between the facts found and the choice made" necessary to survive review under the APA. All. for the Wild Rockies v. Petrick, 68 F.4th 475, 493 (9th Cir. 2023) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted) ("The touchstone of 'arbitrary and capricious' review under the APA is reasoned decisionmaking." (alterations and internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting Altera Corp. & Subsidiaries v. Comm'r, 926 F.3d 1061, 1080 (9th Cir. 2019))). Animus based on race or national origin can never qualify as a "political consideration[]" or "Administration priorit[y]" that falls beyond a court's scrutiny of agency decision-making. Dep't of Com., 588 U.S. at 781; see Vill. of Arlington Heights v. Metro. Hous. Dev. Corp., 429 U.S. 252, 265-66 (1977) ("I]t is because legislators and administrators are properly concerned with balancing numerous competing considerations that courts refrain from reviewing the merits of their decisions, absent a showing of arbitrariness or irrationality. But racial discrimination is not just another competing consideration. When there is a proof that a discriminatory purpose has been a motivating factor in the decision, this judicial deference is no longer justified."). Here, the Secretary's statements are neither isolated nor stray. They are numerous, specific, and closely tied to the agency action at issue. Cf. Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U.S. 667, 701-02 (2018). Many of the assertions were made within days or hours of the Secretary's decision to vacate TPS for Venezuela and Haiti. Here, the Secretary's and President's statements of ethnic hostility and prejudice toward TPS holders who are Venezuelan and Haitian reveals the ugly truth of bad faith and impermissible animus.* At its core, the APA enshrines a fundamental principle: agencies of the federal government "must pursue their goals reasonably" and in a manner that is transparent to the people they serve. Dep't of Com., 588 U.S. at 785. When executive officials short-circuit statutory guardrails or base decisions on hidden motives, it is not a mere technical lapse but an affront to the rule of law. Judicial vigilance in these circumstances is essential to ensure that regulatory power remains tethered to law and reason, not the whims of hidden motives or prejudice. In sum, while the Executive may certainly shape an agency's policy within the scope granted by Congress, it may not do so by subverting the APA's requirements or by smuggling racial or national origin animus into the administrative process. Animus is never a legitimate basis for agency action and will always constitute arbitrary and capricious decision-making. The law's promise of accountability demands no less than candor and reasoned decision-making from those entrusted with immense regulatory powers. Here, that promise was betrayed, and it is our duty to say what is already plainly known to the public.

CA9 goes full Robertsball Refusenik, this time on the merits finding Noem illegally ended Venezuelans’ and Haitians’ Temporary Protected Status.

cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
WARDLAW, Circuit Judge: We again consider the National TPS Alliance's and individual Temporary Protected Status ("TPS") beneficiaries' (collectively, Plaintiffs) challenge to Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") Secretary Kristi Noem's vacatur and termination of Venezuela's TPS designation. We also consider Plaintiffs' challenge to Secretary Noem's partial vacatur of Haiti's TPS designation. The district court held that the Secretary's actions exceeded her statutory authority under the TPS statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1254a, and that the Secretary acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner. The district court therefore set aside the Venezuelan vacatur and termination, and the Haitian partial vacatur. We affirm. Congress created TPS to provide stability, predictability, and a brief reprieve from deportation to qualifying citizens of designated countries. The catch: that reprieve is guaranteed for no more than 18 months at a time. See 8 U.S.C. § 1254a(b)(2)(B), (b)(3)(C). The TPS statute grants the Secretary of Homeland Security significant discretion and authority in designating, extending, and terminating a country's TPS. But by its plain language, the statute does not grant the Secretary the power to vacate an existing TPS designation. Secretary Noem exceeded her statutory authority by vacating and terminating Venezuela's TPS designation, and by partially vacating Haiti's TPS designation. The Secretary's unlawful actions have had real and significant consequences for the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and Haitians in the United States who rely on TPS. The record is replete with examples of hard-working, contributing members of society- -who are mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, and partners of U.S. citizens, pay taxes, and have no criminal records—who have been deported or detained after losing their TPS. Other TPS beneficiaries have lost their jobs after the Secretary stripped them of their work authorization forms, leaving them with no ability to provide for their families. Some beneficiaries, unable to work legally, have now lost their homes, rendering them and their families homeless. The Secretary's actions affect physicians, artists, automotive mechanics, food service employees, construction workers, students, and thousands of others who "didn't come [to the United States] for hand-outs," but "to work hard." The Secretary's actions have left hundreds of thousands of people in a constant state of fear that they will be deported, detained, separated from their families, and returned to a country in which they were subjected to violence or any other number of harms. The Secretary's actions fundamentally contradict Congress's statutory design, and her assertion of a raw, unchecked power to vacate a country's TPS is irreconcilable with the plain language of the statute. The district court correctly set aside the Secretary's unlawful actions. IV. Effect of the Supreme Court's Emergency Stay Orders At the outset, we address the Government's argument that we are bound by the Supreme Court's twice determination that the Government is likely to succeed on the merits. However, the Supreme Court's emergency stay orders did not expressly decide the issue of whether the Government was likely to succeed on the merits of this case, so we reject the Government's argument that the stay orders control our determination of this case. See Noem v. National TPS Alliance, 606 U.S. -.., 2025 WL 2812732, at *1 (Mem.) (2025) ("Although the posture of the case has changed, the parties' legal arguments and relative harms generally have not. The same result that we reached in May is appropriate here."). Unlike NTPSA I and NTPSA II, our opinion today for the first time addresses solely the merits of Plaintiffs' claims. Because "[wle can only guess as to the Court's rationale when it provides none," we are wary of the possibility that the Court granted the Government's emergency stay application due to its assessment of the balance of the equities or the parties' respective irreparable harms, rather than its assessment of the merits. NTPSA II, 2025 WL 2661556, at *2-3. The Supreme Court's unreasoned stay orders were "not conclusive as to the merits." Trump v. Boyle, 606 U.S...., 145S. Ct. 2653, 2654(2025). While they may have informed "how [we] should exercise [our] equitable discretion in like cases," in this appeal, we are confronted with legal questions, not equitable ones. Id.; cf. Noem v. National TPS Alliance, 2025 WL 2812732, at *2 (Jackson, J., dissenting) (arguing that the Court "misjudge[d] the irreparable harm and balance-of-the-equities factors," rather than addressing the merits). We therefore conclude that the Supreme Court's October 3, 2025, stay order is not controlling as to the outcome of this case.
