Supreme Court Clears Way for End of TPS for Haitians and Syrians

The June 25 ruling gives the executive broad authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status and sets up imminent loss of work and legal protections for hundreds of thousands.

Overview

  • The U.S. Supreme Court on June 25 ruled 6–3 in Mullin v. Doe that most nonconstitutional challenges to TPS terminations are nonreviewable, allowing the Department of Homeland Security to proceed with ending Haiti’s and Syria’s designations.
  • Federal guidance and reporting say work authorization tied to TPS could lapse as soon as July 1 and that deportation or assisted departures could begin around July 27, creating immediate I-9 and payroll compliance questions for employers.
  • Homeland Security officials have told recipients they must leave or face enforcement and have described plans to assist departures and use removal authorities if people stay, while the administration debates how to target operations.
  • Advocates, local leaders and faith groups warn that returning Haitian and Syrian TPS holders would expose many to extreme violence and instability in their home countries; about 330,000 Haitian holders and roughly 4,000–6,000 Syrian holders are affected.
  • Congress and advocates are pursuing legal and legislative options including a House bill to extend Haiti’s TPS, but the White House has threatened a veto and the Court’s decision narrows judicial relief, leaving short-term protections uncertain.
