by CHARLOTTE HAZARD | The National News DeskMIAMI, FLORIDA - JANUARY 31: U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem holds a news conference at Miami International Airport on January 31, 2026 in Miami, Florida.
Secretary Noem discussed technology development and investment in the Transportation Security Administration and took questions on other topics. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco issued an order that froze a lower court ruling that wouldn’t have allowed Noem to end TPS protections. "The government is likely to prevail in its argument that the Secretary’s decision-making process in terminating TPS for Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal was not arbitrary and capricious," court documents said,In 2025, Noem attempted to get rid of refugee status for Nepal, Honduras and Nicaragua because TPS protections were supposed to be temporary and the protections had been in place for years.“This is a crucial legal win from @TheJusticeDept attorneys that helps clear the way for President Trump’s continued deportations,” she wrote on X. “As the court found, “the government is likely to prevail in its argument” that ending Temporary Protected Status for some immigrants is sound and lawful policy.”“Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation. TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades.”The South Carolina Department of Corrections' Inspector General arrested and charged a licensed practical nurse who was formerly employed at Allendale CorrectioStart your morning with The National News Desk as Jan Jeffcoat sits down with retired FBI Agent and former Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis.The body of a woman reported missing last December has been found in Olympic National Park, according to family members.Four people are in the hospital after a shooting at a supportive housing center for young adults in Auburn.Officials say the parade will begin at 4th Avenue South and South Washington Street and conclude at 4th Avenue and Cedar Street.
