IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Track whether TPS terminations are being litigated or challenged in federal court, and monitor for expansion of similar terminations to other protected nationalities/states.
Why This Score
This is a single-state enforcement action with narrow affected population and no structural/institutional lever beyond routine TPS expiration enforcement, yielding a low A score. It scores moderately on distraction metrics due to strong human-interest framing (pregnant deportee) and media-friendly narrative, but lacks strong timing/pivot signals tying it to a larger distraction campaign, leaving it in an ambiguous zone between low-salience and List B.
