A New York federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s early termination of temporary protected status, or TPS, for over half a million immigrants from Haiti. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had previously announced the relief would end in September, placing over 500,000 Haitians at risk of deportation. Judge Brian Cogan, who is a George W. Bush appointee, ruled the move was unlawful, and ordered that the relief remain in place until its scheduled end date of February 2026.
