U.S. Supreme Court Likely to Decide Nepal TPS Case by Mid September

I'm not a TPS holder to feel the pain. But as a regular person who can do basic math, I can tell where this legal fight is going. I’ve spoken with top lawyers in DC, and the likely outcome is getting clearer. Like I said before, if the government does not agree to the terms of relief, things may not end well for TPS holders. As expected, the government filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court on August 1, 2025 (officially submitted on AUG 4, 2025). The court is likely to give a decision around August 18 (the last preliminary injunction answering the brief due SEPT 29, 2025), probably in favor of TPS holders based on past cases. Then the case will go straight to the US Supreme Court. If it follows the usual timeline, we could see a decision from the Supreme Court by mid-September. In the meantime, all Nepalese TPS holders are authorized to stay in the United States, but being authorized to work will be tricky. Good Luck!!! Last edited: 08-Aug-25 03:19 PM

In ECF 45, filed on July 14, 2025, the government told Judge Thompson that the court should not delay TPS termination for all. If any relief is granted, it should be limited only to the named plaintiffs or National TPS Alliance members who joined before July 7, 2025. They argued that broad relief is not allowed under the law and TPS is meant to be temporary. Had the Court followed the government’s request, TPS holders would have waited peacefully and with hope until November 18, trusting the process to bring a fair outcome. Since June, Nepalese organization leaders and the National TPS Alliance have been urging everyone to become a member to benefit from the court’s decision. If some TPS holders choose not to care, that’s their loss. Now Aloo Khaa!!!

The National TPS Alliance said in their July 7 filing that they have over 900 Nepalese TPS members. But if they are asking the court to protect all 7000 TPS holders, then why highlight just the 900? And if they claim to represent only 900 members, they should be willing to accept that any court relief might apply only to those members, not everyone.

"I'm not a TPS holder..." its hard to believe ur not on TPS after reading ur posts and contents. just a thought

Alright, here’s your rebuttal—though I’m betting you’ll quietly delete it again once it doesn’t suit you. “The likely outcome is getting clearer. Like I said before, if the government does not agree to the terms of relief, things may not end well for TPS holders.” – Courts don’t haggle over “terms of relief.” They apply the law. Section 705 already shields TPS holders without any back-and-forth. No need to spread panic. “As expected, the government filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court on August 1, 2025.” – That’s standard procedure. DHS appeals every injunction—it’s neither a show of force nor a sign of weakness. “The court is likely to give a decision around August 18, probably in favor of TPS holders based on past cases.” – Maybe, but “likely” doesn’t change a thing until the ruling drops. And regardless of the outcome, the Section 705 stay stays put until further notice. “Then the case will go straight to the US Supreme Court.” – Not automatically. The government still has to petition for cert, and SCOTUS may choose to let the Ninth Circuit’s decision stand. “If it follows the usual timeline, we could see a decision from the Supreme Court by mid-September.” – “Usual timeline” for cert can easily stretch into the next term. Mid-September is optimistic at best. “In the meantime, all Nepalese TPS holders are authorized to stay in the United States, but being authorized to work will be tricky.” – Wrong. The Section 705 stay preserves both status and work authorization. Renewals might slow down, but your right to work remains until the court says otherwise. “In ECF 45, filed on July 14, 2025, the government told Judge Thompson that the court should not delay TPS termination for all.” – That’s a cramped reading of the statute. The APA’s broad Section 705 power lets the court pause terminations for everyone when irreparable harm is at stake. “If any relief is granted, it should be limited only to the named plaintiffs or National TPS Alliance members who joined before July 7, 2025.”– Class actions aren’t “first-come, first-served.” Once relief is granted under the APA, it applies to everyone in the affected group—here, all Nepali TPS holders. “They argued that broad relief is not allowed under the law and TPS is meant to be temporary.”– “Temporary” doesn’t mean you get stripped of your rights first and sort it out later. APA stays exist precisely to prevent unlawful harm until the merits are decided. “Had the Court followed the government’s request, TPS holders would have waited peacefully and with hope until November 18, trusting the process to bring a fair outcome.”– Without a stay, TPS holders would’ve lost work authorization and healthcare on August 5. Protecting people isn’t fear—it’s common sense. “Since June, Nepalese organization leaders and the National TPS Alliance have been urging everyone to become a member to benefit from the court’s decision.”– That’s outreach, not coercion. But let’s be clear: APA relief isn’t membership-based. If the court finds the termination unlawful, it covers everyone affected, no dues required. “If some TPS holders choose not to care, that’s their loss.” – True—but relief under Section 705 doesn’t hinge on who clicked “join.” Your rights aren’t gated by membership. “The National TPS Alliance said in their July 7 filing that they have over 900 Nepalese TPS members.” – That’s just their joining numbers—not the class boundary. You need members to establish standing; that doesn’t cap who the court can protect. “But if they are asking the court to protect all 7000 TPS holders, then why highlight just the 900?” – They mention 900 to show who formally joined and has standing. Once standing is met, the APA allows class-wide relief. “And if they claim to represent only 900 members, they should be willing to accept that any court relief might apply only to those members, not everyone.” – In APA class-style suits, relief isn’t transactional. You don’t pay dues for rights. Standing unlocks relief for all similarly situated. Membership vs. Class Relief – Membership numbers prove who’s aggrieved enough to sue. Class relief under the APA isn’t membership-based; it’s status-based. If the court finds a procedural or substantive flaw, an equitable stay covers all TPS holders. Practical Stakes for All TPS Holders – Whether someone clicked “join” has zero effect on their legal right to stay and work. The court’s job is to block unlawful agency action across the board. Bottom Line – The Alliance used its 900 members to establish standing. That opens relief for all 7,000+ TPS holders, exactly as Section 705 mandates. I know you and I came from a place where nobody dares question authority. Here in the States, we challenge everyone, from the mail carrier to the President. And about those doomsday predictions, maybe dial back the fearmongering and just stick to the facts, alright? Just a quick heads-up to all TPS holders: don’t treat the current stay as a forever safeguard. If you’re eligible for a change of status or adjustment of status, go ahead and file as soon as you can. And keep an eye out for any court or USCIS updates—staying on top of things is your best bet. Last edited: 04-Aug-25 10:12 AM

On June 27, 2025, the Supreme Court in Trump v. CASA, Inc. ruled 6–3 that district courts can't issue nationwide injunctions unless they're needed to fully protect the plaintiffs. Still, Judge Thompson granted broad relief, likely to keep the case alive by pointing to racial impact. Overall, this move buys time, but it won’t lead to lasting immigration status. Good luck!!!

Here you go, the Ninth Circuit appeal court schedule. After looking at a schedule from the Ninth Circuit telling both sides when to file papers in the TPS appeal, the process will take at least until late September 2025 before replies are due. Sept 29, 2025 – Answering briefs due from the National TPS Alliance and other named individuals.   Again, 9th circuit, 9 months, 29 days,  year  2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9 Good luck!!!!

The Supreme Court upheld the termination of TPS for Venezuelans. Does this mean 350000 people must now leave the U.S.?

Jindagi yestai chha · Aug 9, 2025 3:47 PM

@Hanuman1 : As of June 2025, they have been issuing about 200 TPS-related NTAs each week. @ Jindagi Yestai chha : Your opinion "I think" and the current court situation do not match the facts. Good luck!!!!
