# US Haitian TPS termination and fallout

Following the Supreme Court’s June 25, 2026, decision and a subsequent U.S. District Court order lifting a legal stay, the Trump administration has moved forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitian nationals. Work authorizations expired on July 27, 2026.

The policy change has triggered immediate labor and economic disruptions. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the termination of Haitian municipal employees, stating the city was “forced by federal law” to review work authorizations. The Mayor’s office has offered free legal assistance to affected staff, while calling on the President to grant Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) to provide economic certainty.

Healthcare sectors face significant instability. The Home Care Association of Florida warned that up to 35,000 healthcare workers could be affected nationwide, with specific concerns regarding Haitian caregivers in nursing homes. In Florida, the hospitality industry remains volatile; Miami restaurant owner Ken Sejour reported losing entire management teams, stating the end of TPS makes his business future “almost gonna be non-existent.”

Community anxiety has escalated as reports of ICE activity increase. In Ohio, some Haitian immigrants have been summoned to ICE offices and fitted with ankle monitors. While a federal judge recently issued a temporary restraining order blocking the stripping of work permits for immigrants from other nations like El Salvador and Ukraine, the Supreme Court ruling specifically allows the administration to proceed with the termination of Haitian TPS. Religious leaders have organized ‘Masses of Solidarity’ to advocate for the community and urge Congress to extend protections.
