Facts

The plaintiffs challenged the November 20, 2017 decision by then-Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine C. Duke to terminate Haiti's TPS designation, which was based on her assessment that Haiti had sufficiently recovered from a 2010 earthquake. The plaintiffs argued that the termination was unjustified as it disregarded ongoing extraordinary conditions in Haiti that would endanger returning nationals. The court examined the decision-making process and the factors considered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in making the TPS determination.
