A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status for more than 350,000 Haitians in the United States this week, in an opinion that drew fierce criticism from conservative legal experts.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, issued a lengthy and scathing ruling late on Monday blocking the end of TPS for Haitians, accusing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of not properly following procedure in terminating the special status, which was set to expire on Tuesday. Reyes also spent much of her opinion ripping the Trump administration’s decision to end TPS for Haitians, accusing it of being inhumane and racist.
