Supreme Court TPS Decision for Haiti and Syria

On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court decided Mullin v. Doe, Nos. 25-1083 and 25-1084. The Court reversed lower-court orders that had paused TPS terminations for Syria and Haiti during litigation. The decision may allow DHS to move more quickly with TPS-related implementation steps, depending on the country, litigation posture, and agency guidance.

This development is directly important for TPS holders from Haiti and Syria. It may also be relevant to TPS holders from other countries where related litigation or agency action could affect status, work authorization, or future renewal options. TPS beneficiaries should not assume that prior extension notices or older EAD guidance remain current.

TPS holders should check the latest USCIS country-specific guidance, track EAD validity, and consider backup immigration options if eligible, such as family-based, employment-based, asylum-related, humanitarian, or other forms of relief. Employers with TPS workers should be careful with Form I-9 reverification and should not rely only on the printed expiration date on an EAD without checking current government guidance.
