(Reuters) -A federal appeals court on Wednesday cleared the way for President Donald Trump’s administration to end temporary deportation protections and cancel work permits for more than 60,000 immigrants from Central America and Nepal.

The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit allows the government to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal while a court challenge to that policy plays out. The three judges who signed the order did not provide legal reasoning.
