"Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary stay that prevents Kristi Noem, the US homeland security secretary, from implementing her decision to remove the status known as TPS, which was scheduled to expire on Tuesday. Reyes notes that Noem, in announcing her decision to revoke TPS for Haitians, referred to those seeking refuge in the US as killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies'."
"She then notes that the plaintiffs who asked her to block the order, five Haitian TPS holders, are not, it emerges, killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies'. They are instead: Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot, a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer's disease; Rudolph Civil, a software engineer at a national bank; Marlene Gail Noble, a laboratory assistant in a toxicology department; Marica Merline Laguerre, a college economics major; and Vilbrun Dorsainvil, a full-time registered nurse, the judge added."
"Reyes said in an accompanying 83-page opinion that plaintiffs were likely to prevail on the merits of the case and that she found it substantially likely that Noem preordained her termination decision because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants. During the stay, the Termination shall be null, void, and of no legal effect, the judge said in her two-page order, adding that for now, the termination has no bearing on their ability to work and to be protected from detention and deportation."
Judge Ana Reyes issued a temporary stay blocking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for up to 350,000 Haitians. Reyes found it substantially likely that Noem preordained the termination due to hostility toward nonwhite immigrants and noted Noem’s public descriptions of Haitian migrants as 'killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies.' The plaintiffs are five Haitian TPS holders with professional roles, including a neuroscientist, software engineer, laboratory assistant, college economics major, and a registered nurse. The stay renders the termination null and preserves TPS holders’ ability to work and protection from detention and deportation.
