Overview
- The U.S. Supreme Court on June 25 ruled that federal courts have limited power to review Department of Homeland Security decisions to end Temporary Protected Status, removing a major legal barrier to terminations.
- A May 30, 2025 federal court order and USCIS guidance preserve certain travel and work documents — the I‑94, Employment Authorization Documents and I‑797 receipts — for Venezuelans who re-registered under the 2023 designation through October 2.
- Protections are cohort-specific: Venezuelans protected by the 2023 re-registration keep those documents until October 2 while beneficiaries tied solely to the 2021 designation lost coverage when that cancellation took effect on November 7, 2025.
- Honduras' TPS formally ended on September 8, 2025, and EADs issued only under that designation lost validity, leaving people who lack other immigration status without work authorization.
- Immigrant groups including the National TPS Alliance have stepped up campaigns after late‑June earthquakes in Venezuela to press Congress or the administration for a new designation or extensions, a push that could affect workers, employers and pending enforcement decisions.
