Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Ending Temporary Legal Status for Many Haitians
- On Tuesday, a judge ruled against the Trump administration’s effort to terminate Temporary Protected Status for over 500,000 Haitian nationals residing in the United States.
- The lawsuit challenged the Department of Homeland Security's rushed attempt to terminate protections early, which the judge ruled violated legal notice requirements.
- Haiti's TPS status was originally granted after the 2010 earthquake and extended multiple times due to ongoing crises including gang violence, political unrest, and natural disasters.
- The judge explained that when a benefit is granted for a specified duration, the recipient is entitled to continue receiving it until that period concludes.
- The ruling restored the original TPS expiration date to February 3, 2026, delaying possible deportations and allowing Haitians to continue working and attending school in the U.S.
