Temporary Protected Status.
On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a major ruling in Mullin v. Doe, allowing the government to proceed with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Haiti and Syria. The Court held that federal courts have limited authority to review the Department of Homeland Security's decisions regarding these terminations.
What does this mean for current TPS holders? While TPS remains temporarily valid, it is expected to lapse within approximately a month as lower courts act on the ruling. Once terminations take effect, employment authorization and protection from removal for those individuals will end. Employers and affected individuals are advised to look for further governmental guidance on timelines and I-9 reverification processes. Staying updated through official government portals is essential during this transition period.
