Haitian Residents of Springfield Get Reprieve on Protected Status, but Tensions Linger
A federal judge blocked the planned end of Temporary Protected Status for certain Haitian immigrants, granting a last-minute reprieve that stayed the effect of the termination. On Feb. 2, Judge Ana Reyes ruled that ending TPS is null, void, and of no legal effect, allowing Haitian beneficiaries to keep work authorization and protection from detention and deportation for the duration of the court’s stay.
