On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians in the United States.   

The Supreme Court’s majority ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can move forward with plans to end TPS for Haiti and Syria. This is the latest ruling in a contested legal battle after former Secretary Noem terminated TPS for Haiti in July 2025 and Syria in September 2025. The Supreme Court’s decision is consistent with the October 2025 ruling allowing the Trump administration to also end TPS for Venezuela. 

TPS is a U.S. humanitarian program offering protection to individuals from countries experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other severe crises. TPS holders can legally remain in the U.S. and may apply for work authorization. This protection is typically granted for periods of up to 18 months and can be extended. 

TPS holders who are affected by this decision should consult with qualified immigration counsel to evaluate legal options and address any questions they may have regarding the recent developments with the TPS program.
