Haitians and Syrians Lose TPS Protections After Supreme Court Ruling
Jun 25, 2025

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that federal law bars judicial review of the Trump administration's decision to end Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians and Syrians, including roughly 6,000 Syrians, reversing lower court orders that had blocked the terminations. Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion rejected claims that the terminations violated equal protection, while internal documents showed DHS failed to consult the State Department before ending Haiti's TPS, and former Secretary Kristi Noem had ignored a recommendation to extend it despite ongoing danger in Haiti. More than a third of affected Haitian TPS holders live in South Florida. Nationwide TPS enrollment has fallen from about 1.3 million to under 300,000, with at least 700,000 people losing status in 2025, including Venezuelans whose protections were ended in a separate emergency ruling.
