Overview
- The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in June limited lower courts’ power to block DHS terminations and allowed the administration to proceed with ending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.
- The Department of Homeland Security formally ended Haiti’s TPS on July 27 and this week multiple federal judges acknowledged or lifted earlier stays that had paused the termination.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin publicly said the agency will pursue enforcement and local reporting shows ICE has begun targeted actions such as call‑in appointments, ankle monitors, and some detentions.
- About 330,000 to 350,000 Haitian nationals are affected and advocates warn job losses in health care, elder care and service industries, family separations, and community disruption are likely.
- Congress or the President could restore protections through legislation or executive measures like Deferred Enforced Departure, but political divisions and recent court precedent make quick relief uncertain.
