Brad Garcia

Brad Garcia is a U.S. Circuit Judge for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, appointed by President Joe Biden. Known for his judicial philosophy that emphasizes the protection of civil rights and the rule of law, Garcia played a key role in a recent ruling that upheld protections for more than 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S. by rejecting the Trump administration's attempt to end Haiti's Temporary Protected Status. His decision, alongside that of Judge Florence Pan, highlighted the dangers faced by Haitians if deported, citing the ongoing violence and instability in their home country.
