Here We Go Again: Wacky Federal Judge Blocks Early Termination Of TPS For Haitians

Seriously, why bother fighting Trump on this: TPS for those from the failed state (can Haiti actually be considered a state at this point?) of Haiti ends September 2nd. They’re gone at that point

Judge blocks Trump’s early termination of temporary protections for Haitian immigrants

A federal judge in New York has blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to strip immigration protections from Haitians fleeing instability in their country.

The ruling Friday from U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan preserves, for now, the Biden administration’s 2024 extension of the protections, known as “temporary protected status,” for up to 500,000 Haitians living in the United States.

Cogan’s 23-page decision is the latest legal development in the administration’s efforts to roll back TPS designations and other immigration programs that allow immigrants from countries facing humanitarian crises to live and work here legally. In a separate case, the Supreme Court in May lifted a lower-court ruling and allowed the administration to revoke a Biden-era TPS designation for about 350,000 Venezuelans.

Cogan’s decision came just four days after Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced that the TPS designation for Haitians would expire effective on Sept. 2. Under the Biden administration’s extension, the designation was scheduled to expire on Feb. 3, 2026.

The initial 18 month designation was scheduled to end September 2nd. Biden, well, his people who made all the decisions, decided to throw a wrench into the Trump admin by extending it. And, here we go again with a federal judge deciding to make a nationwide decision. He can rule in his little fiefdom, which is from Brooklyn to the end of Long Island. And, let’s be clear, Cogan was appointed by Bush 43, so, probably a Trump hater. Let’s also not forget Bush was a big supporter of a pathway to citizenship, ie, amnesty.

The judge noted that Haitian TPS recipients have enrolled in schools, taken jobs and began medical treatment in reliance on the U.S. government’s previous representations about the duration of the protections.

So what? It’s called TPS, which means it ends. They should have been ready. And how many of them can speak English? How many act like they’re still in 4th World Haiti? How many are on the public dole, taking money from Americans who need it? Regardless, the order cannot apply beyond the Eastern District of NY. And, there will soon be a higher court ruling telling Cogan to take a seat, the TPS ends September 2nd.
