A federal judge has acknowledged that the court order blocking the administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians is no longer in effect after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mullin v. Doe.

Background

The issue became a centerpiece of the 2024 election after President Donald Trump and running mate JD Vance blamed the Biden administration’s Haiti TPS policies for the influx of Haitian migrants into Springfield, Ohio.

The Supreme Court ruled in June that the TPS statute bars judicial review of the administration’s non-constitutional decisions to terminate TPS designations and found the plaintiffs’ equal protection challenge was unlikely to succeed.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes wrote that her earlier order staying the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) termination of Haiti’s TPS designation ‘is no longer in effect’ after the Supreme Court’s decision and the D.C. Circuit’s subsequent mandate.

The administration is no longer barred by the injunction from moving forward with ending TPS protections for an estimated 330,000 to 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S.
