Judge blocks Trump administration’s stripping of Haitians’ protected status
AI Summary
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians. The ruling prevents the Department of Homeland Security from ending the status, which was set to expire on Tuesday, and protects Haitians from deportation and allows them to legally work in the U.S. Judge Ana Reyes cited potential bias in the decision to terminate TPS, referencing disparaging remarks made by the Homeland Security Secretary about immigrants. The judge stated that the plaintiffs, Haitian TPS holders, were likely to succeed in their case, arguing that the termination decision was predetermined due to hostility towards non-white immigrants. TPS was initially granted to Haitians after the 2010 earthquake, allowing individuals to reside and work in the U.S. due to unsafe conditions in their home country.
