Judge Blocks DHS Order Revoking Status Of Haitians

The Washington Post reports:

A federal court on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from cutting short the temporary protected status designation for Haiti, days after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem announced the designation preventing some Haitian immigrants from being deported would end in September.

New York Eastern District Judge Brian M. Cogan, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that Noem’s decision was unlawful and ordered that the designation remain in place until its scheduled end date of Feb. 3.

Noem had initially moved to shorten the designation period in February. About 520,000 people from Haiti living in the United States are eligible for the protected status and about 350,000 have been granted it, according to DHS.
