The Trump administration is appealing against a federal judge’s ruling earlier this week that said the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) order to terminate Temporary Protection Status (TPS) for Haitian nationals in the United States violated federal law.

The Feb. 5 appeal, filed in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, comes only days after the judge’s ruling on Feb. 2, which prevented the TPS expiration date of Feb. 3 for Haitian immigrants, ultimately affecting the government’s ability to deport them.
