Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration Bid to End Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s effort to end temporary protected status, or TPS, for more than 350,000 Haitian immigrants living in the United States. In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes wrote, “Kristi Noem has a First Amendment right to call immigrants killers, leeches, entitlement junkies, and any other inapt name she wants. Secretary Noem, however, is constrained to apply faithfully the facts to the law in implementing the TPS program. The record to-date shows she has yet to do that.” The Department of Homeland Security plans to appeal the ruling.
