Lawsuit accuses Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of illegally revoking an 18-month extension of the protections for Venezuelans .

An additional 250,000 Venezuelans are expected to lose their protections in September .

The loss of TPS means the Venezuelan immigrants could face deportation.

Lawsuit alleges the termination was motivated by racial animus toward Venezuelans , lawyers say.
