A newly surfaced court filing is drawing fresh scrutiny to the Trump administration's decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, with attorneys arguing that Homeland Security officials decided to end protections before completing the legally required review of conditions in the Caribbean nation.
The filing, submitted in federal court as part of ongoing litigation challenging the termination of Haiti's TPS designation, points to internal government records that plaintiffs say undermine the administration's stated rationale for ending the program.
