US judge temporarily blocks lifting of deportation protections for Haiti migrants
AI Summary
A US federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's effort to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 350,000 Haitian immigrants, preventing their deportation. Judge Ana Reyes' ruling came a day before the TPS was set to expire, citing concerns that the decision to terminate the program was predetermined and potentially motivated by hostility towards non-white immigrants. TPS, which protects immigrants from deportation to unsafe countries, was granted to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and has been repeatedly extended. The Trump administration argued that TPS has been abused and transformed into permanent residency, contrary to its original intent. The ruling allows the deportation protection to remain while the case proceeds through the courts. The Trump administration has also moved to end deportation protections for around 2,500 Somalis.
