Overview
- The Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision on June 25 held that federal courts generally cannot review whether the Department of Homeland Security followed its own procedures in ending TPS, shifting control over terminations to the executive.
- DHS has begun moving to implement terminations and some TPS documents are reported to expire as early as Wednesday, July 1, with officials and advocates warning that removal actions could begin in late July, including a cited July 27 date.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the administration will help people depart and warned those who stay could face forcible removal, and officials have discussed targeted enforcement tactics that avoid large public raids.
- State and local leaders, immigrant advocates and faith groups say forced returns would put people at grave risk in Haiti and would disrupt local workforces and services; Ohio estimates Haitian TPS holders contribute roughly $160 million to its economy and $39 million in taxes each year.
- Lawmakers and advocates are pursuing emergency legal and legislative fixes, including the TPS Relief Act to restore court review and a House bill extending Haiti’s designation, but the White House has signaled opposition and outcomes remain uncertain.
