US EditionJudge reads death threats during hearing on Trump decision to end legal protections for Haitians
Judge Reyes shared threats received after blocking Haitian TPS termination affecting 350,000 people and defended judiciary facing harsh criticism, underscoring human stakes in immigration rulings.
- During a Thursday hearing, Judge Ana Reyes read email and social-media death threats she received and said she consulted colleagues before sharing them.
- Following the 2010 earthquake, Haiti received temporary protected status allowing recipients to live and work in the U.S., though it does not provide a path to citizenship.
- Reyes indicated that many of the roughly 350,000 Haitians with TPS could be detained absent her order, despite the administration's assurances.
- In a ruling last week, Reyes blocked the termination of Haitian TPS while the lawsuit proceeds, but the administration has appealed her decision and requested a stay.
- Reyes is the court's first `openly LGBTQ` appointee; she graduated with honors from Harvard Law School and handled over 20 years of federal litigation, defending judicial work.
