Overview
- The Supreme Court's Mullin v. Doe decision narrowed courts' ability to review DHS decisions, enabling the administration to terminate TPS designations that protect migrants from deportation and grant work permits.
- The June 24 earthquakes in Venezuela intensified demands for humanitarian relief and prompted New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to urge the president to redesignate TPS for Venezuelans after visiting a major donation center in Brooklyn.
- About 600,000 Venezuelans have been covered by TPS, with roughly 250,000 losing protections in November 2025 and some 350,000 facing expiration in October 2026 unless DHS or Congress acts to extend or redesignate status.
- The Department of State announced $50 million in new bilateral grants plus a $100 million contribution for aid partners in Venezuela while industry groups in Florida asked for a 90–120 day transition to manage impacts on about 93,000 workers.
- If TPS designations end, many beneficiaries will lose work authorization and face possible deportation with few immediate legal remedies because the court ruling limits judicial review of DHS determinations.
