‘This fight is far from over.’ Ohioans react to federal judge blocking TPS ending for Haitians

A federal judge's stay preserves work authorization and deportation protection for about 350,000 Haitian TPS holders while legal challenges continue.

  • On Feb. 2, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes issued a temporary stay blocking the Department of Homeland Security from ending TPS for Haitian TPS holders, protecting more than 350,000 people.
  • The Trump administration argued conditions in Haiti no longer justified TPS, a claim advocates and plaintiffs disputed amid reports of a 1,000% rise in sexual violence and over 1.4 million displaced people, according to a UNICEF report.
  • Community leaders in Springfield mobilized over 4,000 people during a February 3 'Unite for Springfield' Zoom call, raising more than $107,000 for Haitian families, organizer Katie Paris reported.
  • Government attorneys filed a notice of appeal on Feb. 5 and asked the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to pause Reyes' order, requesting a decision by noon on Feb. 9 while Reyes ordered DHS to outline enforcement plans on Feb. 6.
  • Labor unions and advocates urged Congress to act, as Reyes' ruling described the termination order as `null, void and of no legal effect` and a discharge petition would force a House vote through at least 2029.
