Three organizations have filed a lawsuit to challenge the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants in the U.S. Last month, the administration rescinded the TPS extension until 2026, requiring Haitians to return by August 3 and Venezuelans by April 2. This move has been met with strong opposition from immigrant advocacy groups and affected individuals, who argue that TPS is a critical lifeline for those who have fled violence and upheaval in their home countries.
The lawsuit is the first filed on behalf of Haitians under TPS, with two other suits already filed on behalf of Venezuelans. The challenge to the administration’s decision is based on the argument that they do not have the authority to revoke an extension that has already been granted. The plaintiffs, including real estate broker Sydney Doe and nurse Marlene Doe, are seeking to prevent the deportation of individuals who have been granted TPS status.
The lawsuit also alleges that the decision to end TPS for Haiti and Venezuela is driven by racial bias, pointing to past comments made by Trump about Haiti and African nations. The affected communities, including the large Haitian population in Boston, are anxious about the sudden loss of legal status and the potential deportation to unstable conditions in their home countries. Overall, the lawsuit seeks to protect the rights of TPS recipients and to challenge the administration’s decision to end their protected status prematurely.
