5,000 Ethiopians: Court Ruling Could Still Cancel Your Work Permit [zVlguY4rkmI]
Thousands of Ethiopians just received a temporary lifeline—but this situation is far from over. On April 10, 2026, a federal court in California issued a preliminary injunction in Catholic Social Services v. Mayorkas, blocking the immediate termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopia. This means that—for now—your work authorization (EAD) remains valid. But here’s the reality: this is not a permanent decision. It’s a pause. And what you do during this pause will determine whether you stay protected… or fall into one of the hidden traps that could cost you your job, your legal standing, or even your ability to return to the United States.
