TPS Supreme Court Ruling
U.S. Supreme Court Decision
The Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. The Court also made it much harder for courts to review government decisions to end TPS for other countries.
This does not mean TPS or work permits ended immediately for everyone.
TPS for Haiti and Syria ending soon:
TPS and TPS-based work permits are still valid for now. Legal groups expect TPS for Haiti and Syria to end on or after July 27, 2026, depending on when the district courts issue new orders.
USCIS now lists different expiration dates for TPS-based work permit extensions: July 24, 2026, for Haiti and July 17, 2026, for Syria. Legal groups say work authorization should continue while TPS remains valid. These dates may change.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
- You will no longer have protection from deportation based on TPS, and your TPS-based work permit will no longer be valid.
- This does not mean everyone who loses TPS will be deported right away. The government needs to obtain a final removal order from the immigration court before it can remove you.
- If you already have a final order of removal, you are at the greatest risk of being detained and then deported. But any former TPS holder who no longer has a lawful status is at risk of being put into removal proceedings, and possibly into detention.
- You may be eligible to apply for other pathways to lawful status, such as asylum.
What you can do now:
- Talk to an immigration lawyer or accredited representative about your options.
- Be careful of immigration scams, including notarios, fake websites, social media messages, and promises to quickly fix your status.
- Check USCIS news alerts for the latest updates.
- Make a safety plan and know your rights with ICE.
- Keep copies of your TPS, work permit, and immigration documents.
- Check your mail and update your address with USCIS if needed.
