  "summary": "US district judges have ruled that temporary protections for migrants from South Sudan and Myanmar will be terminated. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for both countries would be halted, effective August 7.\n\nThe decision follows a US Supreme Court ruling in June that allowed the government to strip protections for Haitians and Syrians. According to The Guardian, US district judge Patti Saris of Massachusetts rejected an attempt by immigrant rights organizations to keep TPS for South Sudanese nationals living in the US.\n\nThe termination of TPS leaves some migrants from South Sudan and Myanmar at risk of deportation. TPS designation allows eligible people from countries facing crises to remain in the US temporarily, protecting them from deportation and allowing them to work legally.",
