Judge blocks Kristi Noem from ending temporary protected status for Haitians

Homeland security secretary attempting to end legal status for approximately 521,000 Haitian immigrants

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's bid to end temporary deportation protections and work permits for approximately 521,000 Haitian immigrants before the program's scheduled expiration date.

Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security rescinded Joe Biden's extension of temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitians through 3 February. It called for the program to end on 3 August, and last week pushed back that date to 2 September.
