What Comes Next for the 1 Million People Who Have Lost -- or Will Soon Lose -- Temporary Protected Status
Policy decisions and legal rulings are ending Temporary Protected Status for about 1 million immigrants, threatening their ability to work and remain in the U.S.
- Roughly 300,000 individuals from El Salvador, Sudan, Ukraine, and Lebanon are set to lose Temporary Protected Status this year as the Trump administration accelerates terminations for remaining nations.
- Department of Homeland Security general counsel James Percival celebrated the decision, saying "Temporary Protected Status was always supposed to be temporary and can be canceled at the appropriate time."
- In June 2026, the Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe that federal courts cannot review most TPS termination challenges, citing the 1990 Immigration Act that barred judicial review of such decisions.
- Affected individuals receive 60 days' notice before losing work authorization and becoming undocumented, facing potential arrest and separation from families; many will be deported to nations on the State Department's "Do Not Travel" list.
- Most TPS holders never had a pathway to permanent residency, and Justice Elena Kagan warned in her dissent that ending protections could deliver "devastating, and indeed life-threatening, injury" to vulnerable individuals.
