Overview

• Judge Randolph Moss in Washington blocked the administration’s directive barring asylum requests by migrants entering illegally and set the injunction to begin July 16, allowing time for appeal.
• In New York, Judge Brian M. Cogan determined DHS Secretary Kristi Noem overstepped her authority by shortening Temporary Protected Status and ordered Haitian TPS restored through February 2026.
• The rulings highlight judicial insistence that presidential immigration actions adhere to laws passed by Congress and cannot bypass statutory procedures.
• DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin criticized the decisions as delaying justice and undermining presidential powers, indicating the administration will appeal promptly.
• A parallel lawsuit, Haitian Americans United Inc. v. Trump, is still pending in Massachusetts and could affect future TPS revocation efforts.
