What did the federal judge decide about the Trump administration’s migrant protections?
Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder. A federal judge in San Francisco has blocked the Trump administration's plan to revoke temporary legal protections for more than one million migrants. NPR's Matt Bloom reports on the latest ruling affecting people from Venezuela and Haiti.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Edward Chen argues Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam broke the law when she rescinded Biden era extensions of temporary protections for half a million Haitians and 600,000 Venezuelans earlier this year. Noam has argued the extensions are no longer justified, but Chen, siding with immigrant rights groups and the ACLU, wrote that the Secretary Did not follow correct procedures when she ended them early. The Trump administration has sought to end protections for migrants from many foreign countries this year. The latest ruling restores Biden era extensions for people fleeing dangerous conditions in their home countries. It could still face an appeal. Matt Bloom, NPR News.
It was a mixed week on Wall Street.
How are the latest U.S. jobs numbers influencing expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut?
The job market showed signs of weakness. But MPR Scott Horsley reports that some investors are looking forward to a likely cut in interest rates.
U.S. employers added just 22,000 jobs in August, and revised figures for June showed a net loss of jobs for the first time in more than four and a half years. The gloomy jobs report left investors even more confident the Federal Reserve will lower its benchmark interest rate when policymakers meet later this month. A quarter point rate cut seems all but certain, and some investors think the central bank could go further and order a supersized cut of half a point. For the week that Aljone's industrial average fell by a third of a percent, the S P five hundred index rose by a third of a percent, and the Nasdaq jumped more than one point one percent. Scott Horsley, M Pair News, Washington.
