WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes issued an order today confirming that the injunction blocking the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti is officially no longer in effect — clearing the last procedural hurdle in a case that’s been working its way through the courts since February.
What Happened
The order comes after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals formally sent the case back down to Judge Reyes on Monday, following the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Mullin v. Doe, which had reversed her original order pausing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s termination of Haiti’s TPS designation. With the mandate now in hand, Judge Reyes confirmed today that her February 2 stay — the order that had kept TPS protections in place while the case played out — is no longer operative.
Two Other Key Rulings
Buried in the same order, Judge Reyes made two additional calls that matter for what’s next:
- Discovery continues. The judge denied the government’s request to pause discovery in the case, meaning both sides keep exchanging evidence as litigation continues.
- Plaintiffs are not amending their complaint. The court noted it received word from the parties on July 31 that Plaintiffs do not intend to file an amended complaint — resolving one of the open questions from last month’s status report.
What’s Next
Judge Reyes has ordered both sides to come back with one unified proposed schedule for how the case proceeds from here — a shift from the dueling, side-by-side proposals the parties had floated in their last filing. No new deadlines have been set yet; the court is waiting on that joint proposal before charting the path forward.
This is a developing legal story based on court filings in Miot v. Trump, No. 1:25-cv-02471 (D.D.C.). This is not legal advice.
