Supreme Court Fast-Tracks TPS Cases on Haiti and Syria After Leaving Protections in Place

The justices will assess the administration’s claim that ending Temporary Protected Status is largely beyond judicial review on an expedited track, with a decision expected by early summer.

Overview

  • In an unsigned order, the Court consolidated the Haiti and Syria disputes, kept lower-court injunctions intact, and set arguments for late April.
  • Roughly 350,000 Haitians and about 6,000 Syrians will keep legal status and work authorization while the case proceeds.
  • Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues DHS holds exclusive authority to terminate TPS and urges the Court to clarify that such decisions are not reviewable, citing prior emergency rulings involving Venezuelan TPS.
  • Plaintiffs contend conditions remain dangerous in both countries and point to a federal judge’s finding that the Haiti termination was likely influenced by racial animus.
  • DHS under Secretary Kristi Noem moved in 2025 to end TPS for multiple countries, and the Court’s ruling could set nationwide precedent on if and how TPS terminations can be challenged.
