Work Permits Expiring for Thousands of Immigrants in the US
The ruling affects about 350,000 people and ends legal work status for Haitian TPS recipients after the Trump administration canceled the program.
- On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security temporarily extended work authorization for migrants covered by Temporary Protected Status just hours before permits expired, averting an immediate employment cliff for tens of thousands of workers.
- The Supreme Court recently ruled the Trump administration holds authority to cancel TPS for seven countries—Ethiopia, Burma, South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and Haiti—a decision affecting about 350,000 people whose work authorizations were set to expire.
- Citing staffing concerns, the National Restaurant Association urged Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to provide a 90- to 120-day transition period for employers. Governor Mike DeWine termed the policy 'a mistake,' attributing it to humanitarian concerns.
- Work permits for Haitians now expire July 24, while holders from Ethiopia, Burma, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, and Yemen face a July 17 deadline, according to Citizenship and Immigration Services notices.
- Legal challenges continue in federal courts, as the National TPS Alliance warns the policy "throws hundreds of thousands of people into uncertainty overnight," leaving the long-term status of these migrants unresolved.
