U.S. ends Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, impacting 350,000
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration’s decision to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti in a 6‑3 ruling in June 2026. Following that decision, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia lifted the stay that had blocked the termination, allowing the policy to take effect on July 27 2026.
The termination removes work authorization for an estimated 330,000‑350,000 Haitian nationals living in the United States, ending a humanitarian program that had been in place since the 2010 earthquake. The loss of status has prompted immediate concerns about employment, especially in health‑care, construction, hospitality and other sectors where Haitian workers are heavily represented. Nurses’ unions and lawmakers in New York warned that the change could worsen an existing hospital staffing crisis.
Local officials have responded with calls for congressional action. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the termination of employment for Haitian city workers, while Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey and Florida’s Catholic bishops urged Congress to extend TPS. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned Haitian TPS holders to leave the country or face arrest, and ICE has begun enforcement actions in several states.
