"TPS for Haitian immigrants, initially set to expire Feb. 3, has been at the center of a prolonged legal battle. After the Trump administration announced the termination of Haiti's TPS Nov. 28, 2025, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court issued a stay on Feb. 2, preventing the expiration. The decision allowed TPS holders to remain in the U.S. while litigation over legality of the termination continued."
"However, the federal government appealed this decision Feb. 6, seeking a stay from the Court of Appeals to proceed with the termination despite the district's court ruling, according to a statement from Campbell's office. The filing urges the Court of Appeals to reject the federal government's motion for a stay, arguing that ending Haiti's TPS would have devastating effects for both individual persons and the broader community."
"NEW: I am filing a brief urging the courts to preserve the block on Trump's unlawful termination of TPS for our Haitian community. Haitians are essential to the fabric of MA. Ending TPS would separate families, harm our economy & deplete our workforce. I won't stand for it.- AG Andrea Joy Campbell (@MassAGO) February 17, 2026"
Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and a coalition of 18 attorneys general filed a legal brief seeking preservation of a district court stay that prevents expiration of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants. The Trump administration announced termination of Haiti's TPS on Nov. 28, 2025, and a federal judge issued a stay on Feb. 2 allowing TPS holders to remain while litigation continues. The federal government appealed on Feb. 6, seeking a stay from the Court of Appeals. The filing argues that ending Haiti's TPS would separate families, harm the economy, deplete the workforce, and have devastating effects on individuals and communities.
