Judge Ana Reyes reads death threats into court record after blocking Haiti TPS termination

U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes of the District of Columbia entered death threats she received into the record during a hearing on her ruling blocking the Trump administration from terminating Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Haitians. Reyes had issued a preliminary injunction one day before the TPS designation was scheduled to expire, and in the hearing refused to pause her ruling while the government appealed. A Uruguayan immigrant herself, Reyes stated she and her judicial colleagues would not be intimidated, noting that federal judges now routinely receive death threats.
