A federal judge on Tuesday allowed U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to end legal protections granted to over 5,000 Ethiopians that have allowed them to live and work in the United States.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston lifted the last remaining judicial block on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security terminating the Temporary Protected Status designation for individual countries after the U.S. Supreme Court ​in June allowed the administration to end similar protections for thousands of ​people from Haiti and Syria.
