Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Cutting Haitian Temporary Protected Status
Briefly

A federal judge in Brooklyn determined that Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem does not possess the authority to prematurely terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 350,000 Haitian immigrants. The ruling allows these immigrants to remain protected from deportation until February 3, 2026. The U.S. initially granted TPS to Haitians after the devastating 2010 earthquake and has extended it multiple times due to subsequent disasters and ongoing issues within Haiti. The victory is significant, ensuring safety for immigrants reliant on this status amid widespread violence and scarcity in Haiti.
"When the Government confers a benefit over a fixed period of time, a beneficiary can reasonably expect to receive that benefit at least until the end of that fixed period."
"Today's victory protects approximately 350,000 immigrants from imminent deportation to Haiti - a country where violence and human rights abuse are rampant while food, housing, jobs and medical care are scarce."
