Claim 1: “The Trump administration terminated the designations for 11 of the 15 nationalities.”

Claim 2: “The law that established TPS protections from deportation says the decisions can't be challenged in court.”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

While evidence confirms TPS exists and is being challenged in court (which implies the law allows for some form of challenge or the challenges are based on procedural errors), no provided source explicitly states that the law 'says the decisions can't be challenged in court'.
