Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court's emergency order permits the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Venezuelans, lifting prior judicial blocks.
• TPS, initially expanded under the Biden administration, allowed individuals from unsafe countries to live and work legally in the U.S. without a path to citizenship.
• The administration has announced plans to end TPS for nationals from Haiti, Afghanistan, and Cameroon, with Haitians set to lose protections in August 2025.
• Efforts to terminate humanitarian parole for over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela are also underway, with lower court hearings scheduled for late May and July.
• The economic impact of revoking TPS is significant, as TPS households contributed over $10 billion in income and nearly $1.3 billion in federal taxes in 2021, according to the American Immigration Council.
