Judge Pauses DHS's Termination of Protected Status for Haitian Immigrants
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A New York federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump
administration's early termination of temporary protected status, or
TPS, for over half a million immigrants from Haiti. DHS Secretary Kristi
Noem had previously announced the relief would end in September, placing
over 500,000 Haitians at risk of deportation. Judge Brian Cogan, who is
a George W. Bush appointee, ruled the move was unlawful, and ordered
that the relief remain in place until its scheduled end date of February
2026.
