A rogue federal judge has issued an order blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian migrants.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem had ordered the termination of TPS for Haitians, and it was supposed to go into effect on Tuesday.

This would have forced hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants living in the United States to either leave or get deported.

However, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, who was appointed by Biden, just put an indefinite pause on that order.

Here are the details:

BREAKING: Biden activist Judge Ana Reyes BLOCKS President Trump from terminating Temporary Protected Status for over 350,000 THOUSAND Haitian migrants tomorrow — they soon would’ve been deportable

THE JUDICIAL COUP MUST END!

This judge wrote an UNHINGED leftist “order” proving how psychotically pro-illegal she is

These judges need to be impeached. REVOKE TPS!

Judge Reyes ridiculously wrote in her ruling that Noem’s decision to end TPS for Haitians was motivated by “hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”

Fox News has more details:

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes granted an emergency request Monday to pause the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians while a lawsuit challenging the decision goes ahead, the Associated Press reported.

TPS allows eligible immigrants from countries facing unsafe conditions to stay in the U.S. and get work authorization, though it does not provide a path to citizenship. The Haitian designation was set to expire Feb. 3.

In a two-page order, Reyes said the termination would be “null, void, and of no legal effect” during the stay, preserving recipients’ ability to work and shielding them from arrest and removal.

The judge also said the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on the merits of their case and found it “substantially likely” that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had preordained the decision because of “hostility to nonwhite immigrants.”

Originally, President Obama was the one who gave TPS to migrants from Haiti after a massive earthquake back in 2010.

Truly, TPS for Haiti should have ended many years ago.

However, it kept getting extended.

NBC News provided more background:

President Barack Obama designated Haiti for TPS in response to the magnitude-7.0 earthquake that devastated the country in January 2010, killing and wounding more than half a million people and crippling its government.

The protection, which is usually in effect for a year or more, was extended repeatedly as Haiti was hit with more natural disasters and political upheaval. In some years, Haiti was re-designated for TPS, opening the protected status to newcomers.

Trump tried to end TPS for Haitians in his first term, but court battles kept his policy from taking effect before he lost re-election in 2020.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded to the absurd ruling, promising to take it to the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court, here we come.

This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on.

Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades.

Temporary means temporary and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench.
