A federal judge on Wednesday formally confirmed that a previous order blocking the Trump administration from ending temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitians was no longer in effect.

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes confirmed the order's status in a directive to the Trump administration and litigants in a specific TPS case.

Trump has moved to end TPS for several nations, including Haiti, though a number of federal judges have intervened to stay those directives. The Supreme Court eventually ruled that the administration can end TPS, but some judges have declined to relent.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs, for instance, issued an order blocking the administration from ending TPS for Somalia, even after the Supreme Court issued its decision.

Her move prompted Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., to move to start impeachment proceedings.
