| Judge sitting | Ana C. Reyes |
In June 2025, Noem announced the termination of TPS for Haitians.[6] In July 2025, Haitians seeking a class action filed Lesly Miot v. Trump challenging the termination.[7] In February 2026, Judge Ana C. Reyes blocked Noem and DHS's termination order, arguing that Noem did not have the authority to end the status and her arguments for ending it were flawed and racially motivated.[8] Her opinion quotes Trump previously denigrating Haitian immigrants by repeating the Springfield pet-eating hoax, and Noem calling them “leeches,” “entitlement junkies,” and “foreign invaders."[9] After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit declined to pause Reyes’ ruling, the Supreme Court granted the government an emergency appeal.[10]
