Overview
- A June Supreme Court decision cleared the way for the administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status, and federal judges and DHS actions have now put those terminations into effect.
- This week, U.S. immigration authorities began summoning Haitian TPS holders for in‑person check‑ins and outfitting some with GPS ankle monitors that limit travel to a set radius.
- DHS says TPS is temporary and is offering voluntary‑departure assistance with a stipend and free flights while it proceeds with enforcement actions.
- More than 100 mayors including Boston’s Michelle Wu have urged Congress to extend TPS through early 2029 to avoid mass deportations and protect local workforces.
- Advocates warn the change will cause immediate harm to families and businesses—health‑care and elder‑care staffing are already affected—and narrow court challenges and stalled Senate legislation leave outcomes uncertain.
