Trump keeps losing TPS termination cases at lower courts despite higher court wins
Every delay has consequences.
The Trump administration has attempted to revoke temporary protected status for immigrants from multiple countries, but lower courts continue to find ways to block it despite a pair of wins for the Trump administration at the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court gave the green light to ending TPS for immigrants from Venezuela twice, but lower courts have still blocked the Trump administration from ending the status for various other countries, including Haiti. A federal district court judge recently blocked Trump’s effort to end TPS for immigrants temporarily in the country from Haiti, even though the status was extended to those immigrants due to an earthquake that struck Haiti nearly 16 years ago. The Trump administration’s roadblocks have stemmed from a mix of their own procedural issues and unfriendly judges making policy decisions, rather than judicial decisions, according to legal experts.
TPS revocation continues to be halted in district courts
More than a year after entering office, the Trump administration has faced continued lawsuits and injunctions for nearly every action it pursues, and the revocation of TPS for various countries has been no different.
U.S. District Judge Patti Saris, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, struck down the administration’s attempt to end TPS for South Sudan on Thursday, finding that the reason provided was unlawfully “pretextual.”
One of the most high profile recent rejections of TPS revocation came from U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, who halted efforts to end TPS for Haiti earlier this month. In her lengthy ruling, Reyes said that both President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem showed what she saw as racial animus against Haitians. Reyes wrote that the decision to revoke the country’s status was therefore unlawfully pretextual.
“Taken together, the record strongly suggests that Secretary Noem’s decision to terminate Haiti’s TPS designation was motivated, at least in part, by racial animus,” she wrote. “The mismatch between what the Secretary said in the Termination and what the evidence shows confirms that the termination of Haiti’s TPS designation was not the product of reasoned decision-making, but of a preordained outcome justified by pretextual reasons.”
Reyes’s ruling caused uproar in conservative legal circles, with critics accusing her of ruling due to her personal disapproval of the policy decision instead of its legality. …
