Trump Administration's Plan to End Haitian Temporary Protected Status Blocked by Federal Judge

A federal judge in Washington has blocked the Trump administration from closing down a humanitarian program that allowed around 350,000 Haitians to live and work legally in the U.S., allowing them to continue their temporary protected status indefinitely. The ruling halted an effort by the Trump administration to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, which was set to expire on July 24. The decision comes after a group of Haitian migrants sued the government over its plans to terminate TPS. The judge's order allows the program to remain in place until further notice, allowing Haitians to continue their applications for status.
