Court blocks end of Haitian TPS, granting 350,000 a last-minute reprieve

A federal judge halted the DHS plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians, delaying the lapse and preserving their status and work permits while litigation continues. Judge Ana Reyes ruled the move was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedures Act and criticized remarks she deemed evidence of racial animus by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem (and referenced Trump). DHS signaled it may seek Supreme Court review of the decision.

Court Allows Vineyard Wind to Resume Construction After Halt

A federal judge granted a stay on the December stop-work order, allowing Vineyard Wind to resume construction because the government failed to justify the halt as necessary for national security related to operation rather than construction. The project is about 95% complete, with 44 turbines already producing power and 18 more to finish, and a critical installation vessel contract expiring at the end of March that ties into financing and utility contracts calling for full operation by then. The decision follows similar rulings for other offshore wind projects and leaves open further review by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

The hearing raises whether Congress must authorize such a project, even as the administration cites funding and Interior Department gifts; design reviews by two federal commissions continue and construction remains planned for spring, with potential appeals to higher courts.
