‘Lawless activism’: Foreign-born Biden judge strikes again, protects Haitians from removal

Noem determined last year after reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate government agencies that the island nation no longer met the conditions for a TPS designation.
Reyes, the same judge who tried unsuccessfully last year to torpedo the War Department’s ban on transvestites in the military, makes no secret of her animus toward the American-born DHS secretary throughout her ruling, using her conclusion, for instance, to cast Noem as a cold-hearted ignoramus.
“Secretary Noem, the record to-date shows, does not have the facts on her side — or at least has ignored them,” wrote the Biden judge. “Does not have the law on her side — or at least has ignored it.”
Reyes’ fellow activists celebrated her ruling.
“This was the right decision. There is no evidence that the Trump administration took the time to make a clear-eyed assessment of the risks these families would face back in Haiti before moving to revoke TPS,” Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said in a statement obtained by GBH News. “On the contrary, the revocation appears to have been driven by racial animus and political ideology.”
“We can breathe for a little bit,” Rose-Thamar Joseph, operations director of the Haitian Support Center in migrant-overwhelmed Springfield, Ohio, told the Associated Press.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in response to the ruling, “Supreme Court, here we come.”
“This is lawless activism that we will be vindicated on,” continued McLaughlin. “Haiti’s TPS was granted following an earthquake that took place over 15 years ago, it was never intended to be a de facto amnesty program, yet that’s how previous administrations have used it for decades.”
“Temporary means temporary, and the final word will not be from an activist judge legislating from the bench,” added McLaughlin.
