A federal judge postponed the expiration of TPS for Haitian immigrants in Ohio and nationwide. What happens now?

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The federal ruling blocking the end of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians drew attention for its sharp language about conditions in Haiti and the thin record supporting the decision.

The ruling to block President Donald Trump's administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians is bringing a wave of relief to Haitians in South Florida.

The latest example was memorialized in an 83-page ruling Monday night from U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee who blocked Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ’s bid to end relief for Haitians under the Temporary Protected Status program, or TPS.

A federal judge's eleventh hour order blocking the deportation of Haitians legally sheltering in the U.S. was a massive victory for immigrants, Florida Democrats argued on Tuesday — but not enough.

Whitney, a Haitian immigrant with Temporary Protected Status, made the decision to leave her family and move to Mexico rather than await possible deportation from the U.S.

Ohio politicians are largely reticent to say much about the looming Feb. 3 expiration of many Haitian immigrants’ legal status, or the federal immigration enforcement that is expected but uncertain in the Springfield area.

Haitian American advocates, like Miami Dade County Commissioner Marlene Bastien, say the move is both cruel and creates a sense of fear in the community.
