US District Judge Edward Chen's decision to grant a preliminary injunction on Wednesday temporarily barring the Trump administration from expelling TPS (Temporary Protected Status) beneficiaries https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-25726-haiti-flash-federal-judge-prevents-trump-administration-to-cancel-tps.html rejoiced the Democratic Senator of Miami, Daphne Campbell.

"This brings me great joy. I advocated for an extension and was pleased when the Trump Administration extended the program for an additional 18 months. However, I was disheartened when he ended the program https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22759-haiti-flash-tps-more-than-50-000-haitians-will-have-to-leave-the-usa.html indefinitely," said Senator Campbell, who originally hails from the small Caribbean nation. "The decision made by Judge Edward Chen gives many Haitians and other immigrants a sigh of relief. It allows them to hope and know that we are fighting daily on their behalf."

Remember that during the 2018 Legislative Session, Senator Campbell filed Senate Memorial (SM) 442 Haiti Temporary Protected Status https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22892-haiti-flash-tps-senator-campbell-at-the-head-of-the-haitian-temporary-relief-task-force.html and SM 888 Extending Status protection for Eligible Refugees with Established Residency (ESPERER) Act of 2017 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22733-haiti-flash-usa-law-to-extend-tps-adopted-by-first-senate-committee.html

Both were earmarked for the President of the United States, the Secretary of the United States Department of State, and the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security urging both the extension of Haiti TPS and allowing those immigrants who received TPS before January 13, 2011, to adjust their status to legal permanent residency.
