BREAKING: Biden Judge Blocks DHS From Ending Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians

A federal judge on Monday evening blocked the Department of Homeland Security from ending the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians.

US District Judge Ana Reyes, a wicked Biden appointee, said DHS Chief Kristi Noem “does not have the law on her side” in a scathing opinion.

The TPS designation was set to expire on Tuesday. Judge Reyes blocked the DHS from ending the TPS designation at the eleventh hour.

Judge Reyes unleashed on Noem over an X post in which she called Haitians and other 3rd world migrants “killers leeches and entitled junkies.”

Secretary Kristi Noem

I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign

“Plaintiffs are five Haitian TPS holders. They 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,” Judge Reyes wrote in an 83-page opinion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Judge Reyes unleashed on Nome and said the law is not on her side.

“There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side—or at least has ignored them. Does not have the law on her side—or at least has ignored it. Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, she pounds X (f/k/a Twitter),” the judge wrote.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin suggested the Trump Administration may leapfrog the DC Circuit Court of Appeals and go straight to the Supreme Court.

Full statement from Tricia McLaughlin:

Supreme Court, here we come.

This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on.

Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades.

Temporary means temporary and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench.
