HECA, SEIU - 32BJ , et al v. Trump, DHS, Noem (Haiti TPS)

17 Mar

Nine Haitian TPS holders, the Haitian Evangelical Clergy Association, and SEIU-32BJ sued the Trump Administration for prematurely halting Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS), a humanitarian program that allows hundreds of thousands of Haitians to temporarily remain and work in the United States due to Haiti’s current conditions of extraordinary crises. Alleging that the administration’s early end of TPS was done in violation of immigration law and without proper review and driven by the President’s racial animus towards non-white immigrants, the Plaintiffs are asking the Federal Court in the Eastern District of New York to block the administration’s order. The law offices representing Plaintiffs include Kurzban Kurzban Tetzeli & Pratt and Just Futures Law.
