U.S. district Judge Ana Reyes stated that her previous February ruling was invalidated following the Supreme Court\u2019s 6-3 decision allowing the administration to proceed with ending TPS for Haiti, which affects about 350,000 Haitians in the U.S. Despite the court ruling,efforts to challenge the termination continue,with attorneys asserting that their constitutional claims remain active and litigation will proceed. The Supreme Court\u2019s decision was based on statutory limitations that exclude judicial review of such administrative determinations. The case has been sent back to lower courts for further proceedings,marking the first official acknowledgment by Judge Reyes that her earlier order had been voided. DHS officials defended the termination process, contrasting the courts&#8217; actions and emphasizing their authority to end TPS without judicial interference.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n
