Temporary Protected Status
Last updated: September 1, 2026 02:51 pm
Overview
On June 25, the Supreme Court issued a ruling in Mullin v. Doe that has devastating implications for many people with Temporary Protected Status (TPS). TPS has historically allowed people from specific countries to remain in the US and to work here if it is not safe for them to return home due to war, disasters, or other emergencies.
The ruling allowed the Trump administration to end TPS for Haitians and Syrians, which it has now done. The ruling also largely clears the way for the Trump administration to end TPS for people from other countries, if it chooses to do so.
