Haitian, Syrian Nationals Face Immediate Loss of Protected Status

The 6-3 ruling puts about 334,500 TPS holders from both countries at risk of deportation and job loss, immigrant groups said.

  • On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
  • The conservative majority granted the executive branch unreviewable authority to terminate TPS designations, effectively barring federal judges from intervening or second-guessing the administration's decisions.
  • Reproducing Trump's past statements in her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan argued the comments "fairly shout" that race shaped the decision to expel the affected nationals.
  • Haitian and Syrian nationals will lose legal residency, work authorization, and driver's licenses in 32 days, rendering them subject to detention and deportation.
  • This precedent imperils roughly 1 million additional TPS holders from 17 countries including Afghanistan and Honduras, whose statuses are currently in litigation.
