A federal judge on July 1 blocked the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from ending Temporary Protected Status (TSP) for hundreds of thousands of Haitian immigrants before the program’s scheduled expiration date.

The Biden administration previously extended Haiti’s TPS designation until Feb. 3, 2026, citing gang violence, political unrest, and natural disasters, <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747.1.0.pdf">according</a> to court filings.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reversed the decision in February, saying current conditions in Haiti no longer warranted the designation. Noem initially said Haiti’s TPS designation would end in August but later <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/homeland-security-ends-temporary-protected-status-for-500000-haitians-5879390">revised the expiration date</a> to Sept. 2.

In a 23-page <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747.63.0_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">order</a> issued July 1, U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan ruled the move was unlawful, stating that Noem lacks either “statutory or inherent authority” to partially vacate a country’s TPS designation.

The ruling came in response to a <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747/gov.uscourts.nyed.528747.1.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">lawsuit</a> filed by nine Haitian TPS holders, the Haitian Evangelical Clergy Association, and the Service Employees International Union-Local 32BJ, which alleged that Noem did not conduct a required review of conditions in Haiti before shortening the duration of the TPS designation.

Cogan said the plaintiffs are already experiencing harm, noting that Noem’s decision to end the TPS designation is forcing them to prepare to leave the United States five months earlier than expected.

“When the Government confers a benefit over a fixed period of time, a beneficiary can reasonably expect to receive that benefit at least until the end of that fixed period,” the judge stated. “Plaintiffs have enrolled in schools, taken jobs, and begun courses of medical treatment in the United States in reliance on Haiti’s TPS designation lasting until at least February 3, 2026.”

Cogan also stated in his ruling that he found the injuries experienced by the plaintiffs “far outweigh any harm to the Government from a postponement.”

The Epoch Times sought comment from the Department of Homeland Security and the Service Employees International Union-Local 32BJ but did not receive a response by publication time.

TPS is a <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status">designation</a> that allows individuals from countries affected by armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary events the ability to remain in the United States.

In February, Noem indicated in a Federal Register notice that her office would move to terminate TPS for Haitian nationals who were currently using that program. In the notice, she estimated that just over 521,000 Haitians are covered under TPS.

DHS stated in a July 1 <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/07/01/2025-12224/termination-of-the-designation-of-haiti-for-temporary-protected-status" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">notice</a> that Noem reviewed conditions in Haiti and determined that extending the TPS designation would be contrary to the national interests.

“DHS records indicate that there are Haitian nationals who are TPS recipients who have been the subject of administrative investigations for fraud, public safety, and national security. These issues underscore a conflict with the national interest of the United States,” it stated.

A DHS spokesperson <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/homeland-security-ends-temporary-protected-status-for-500000-haitians-5879390" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">stated</a> on June 27 that Haitian nationals may pursue lawful status through other immigration benefit requests, provided they meet eligibility requirements.

The move followed a Supreme Court <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/supreme-court-allows-trump-to-remove-protected-status-for-venezuelans-5859993" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ruling</a> on May 19 that allowed the government to proceed with ending TPS for more than 300,000 Venezuelan nationals.

DHS also <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/dhs-revokes-temporary-legal-status-of-530000-immigrants-5829612" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought</a> to revoke the temporary legal status of more than 530,000 immigrants who entered the United States under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program, known as the CHNV program.

This program allowed entry of people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela if they meet certain requirements, including having U.S. sponsors.

Noem said in a March <a class="article-hover-class" href="https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-05128.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">notice</a> that such parole programs “do not serve a significant public benefit” and are not effective in reducing the levels of illegal immigration in the United States.
