Supreme Court Hears Arguments on TPS for 350,000 Haitians and Thousands of Syrians — A Decision Is Expected by June

Your TPS status may be decided by the Supreme Court in the next two months.

On April 29, 2026, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two consolidated cases — Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot — that will determine whether the Trump administration lawfully revoked Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitian nationals and approximately 6,100 Syrians living and working legally in the United States.

What the case is about.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revoked TPS for Haiti and Syria last year, citing what the administration described as national interest. Petitioners argued in court that Noem failed to consult required government agencies before making her decision, and that the revocation was a politically predetermined result rather than a genuine review. The government argued it has broad discretion to end TPS for any country at any time.

• Several justices appeared skeptical of whether proper procedures were followed.

• A ruling is expected before the end of the Supreme Court term in late June 2026.

• If TPS is terminated, affected individuals could lose work authorization and face removal proceedings.

What Haitian and Syrian TPS holders should do now.

Do not wait for the ruling to take action. If you hold TPS from Haiti or Syria, now is the time to speak with an immigration attorney about backup options — including whether you may qualify to apply for asylum, a green card through a family member, or another form of protection.
