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 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 the June 2026 Mullin v. Doe ruling, the Supreme Court held that federal courts cannot review most TPS termination challenges, citing the 1990 Immigration Act's bar on judicial review.
  • Affected individuals receive 60 days' notice before losing work authorization and becoming undocumented, with many facing separation from families and deportation to countries on the State Department's "Do Not Travel" list.
  • Justice Elena Kagan warned in her dissent that ending TPS could deliver "devastating, and indeed life-threatening, injury," while most holders never had a pathway to permanent residence or other immigration status.
