End of Haitian TPS leaves 350,000 U.S. residents without work permits

Haitian TPS Trump administration Mike DeWine work permits economic impact

The U.S. Supreme Court on June 25, 2026 upheld the Trump administration’s authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians. The expiration took effect on July 27, 2026, ending TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitian migrants and about 6,000 Syrian migrants in the United States. Work authorization ended at the same time, creating immediate uncertainty for employers and employees. The Department of Homeland Security offered a $2,600 payment and a free flight home to anyone who self‑deported. State officials, including Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey, warned that mass deportations would damage local economies and harm communities that rely on Haitian workers. ICE has announced plans to ramp up operations to arrest and deport Haitian migrants, starting in Ohio. Haitian TPS holders contribute an estimated $5.9 billion annually to the U.S. economy, with $1.5 billion coming from the Miami area alone, and more than 150,000 reside in Florida. Repeated short extensions of work permits by USCIS have left many businesses scrambling to stay compliant.
