The Nepal TPS lawyer urged the court, “Let’s speed this up. We need to pause the rule so the August 5 effective date is put on hold and people can keep working.”
Catherine Ross, the DHS attorney from the Venezuela case, jumped in, “Not so fast—there’s no way. The court should take its time, like in other cases. I’ll be representing this case from now on.”
Judge Thompson looked at both lawyers and said, “Government, file your opposition motion by July 14. Nepal TPS counsel, you have until July 18 to respond. In any case, the hearing will be on July 29, and I will decide then.”
