US judge halts Trump plan to end protections for 350,000 Haitians

Judge Ana Reyes blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to end TPS, preserving protections for 350,000 Haitians amid ongoing violence and legal challenges.

  • On Monday night, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in Washington granted a request to pause the termination of Haitian TPS, ruling it null, void, and of no legal effect while the challenge proceeds.
  • Plaintiffs allege Secretary Kristi Noem's decision was motivated by racial animus and failed to consider ongoing armed conflict in Haiti, as legal challenges argue. DHS contends conditions have improved.
  • The designation covers roughly 350,000 Haitian TPS holders, and Judge Reyes noted they generate $5.2 billion annually in tax revenue.
  • The ruling provides a reprieve for communities that feared intensified enforcement and potential roundups, while advocates and community groups expect the Trump administration to appeal.
  • Historically, TPS has been extended repeatedly and the administration's broader TPS policy has sought to end protections for about 600,000 Venezuelans and over 160,000 Ukrainians.
