US Supreme Court Clears Way to End TPS for ~350,000 Haitians

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on June 25, 2026 in the consolidated cases Trump v. Miot and Mullin v. Doe, holding that federal law bars judicial review of the Department of Homeland Security's decisions to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria. The Court majority also rejected the plaintiffs' equal-protection claim, finding that statements by President Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem were not overtly racial and could rest on race-neutral justifications. The ruling clears the way for the administration to end TPS protections — first granted after the 2010 earthquake and repeatedly renewed — for an estimated 350,000 Haitian nationals living in the United States, exposing them to potential deportation back into a country experiencing famine-level food insecurity, record displacement, and gang control of most of the capital.
