The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, eliminating judicial review of such decisions Source: Diario Libre. The ruling, written by Justice Samuel Alito, held that the law governing TPS "prohibits clearly" courts from reviewing the Department of Homeland Security's determinations Source: El Mundo.
What happened
The decision directly affects Haitians and Syrians, but could set a precedent for 1.3 million people from 17 countries currently under TPS, including Venezuelans, Hondurans, and Salvadorans Source: Listín Diario. The Trump administration has already revoked TPS for about 1 million people from 13 nations since 2025 Source: Infobae.
- The court rejected arguments that Trump's remarks about Haitians (including false claims about pets) showed racial bias, stating the comments were "not openly racial" Source: Hoy.
- The ruling overturns lower court injunctions that had blocked the termination Source: La República.

Community leaders in Miami called the decision "unjust" and "painful," noting that Haiti remains plagued by gang violence with nearly 6,000 murders in 2025 Source: Portafolio. A Haitian nurse in Kentucky said she prepared her will, fearing deportation Source: Emol. Honduras has requested a six-month grace period for its 50,000 TPS holders Source: Infobae.
- "This decision puts thousands of Haitian families in immediate fear," said Viles Dorsainvil of the Haitian Community Help and Support Center Source: El Caribe.
- DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said beneficiaries should seek permanent status or accept a plane ticket and $2,100 to return Source: Jornada.

“La decisión (6-3) deja expuestos a la deportación a unos 350,000 haitianos y 6,100 sirios, además de poner en peligro a aproximadamente 1,3 millones de inmigrantes de diecisiete países que contaban con ese estatus cuando Trump regresó al poder en enero de 2025.”

“El magistrado conservador Samuel Alito, que redactó la opinión de la mayoría, calificó de 'clara' y 'muy amplia' la cláusula de la legislación que establece que 'no habrá revisión judicial de ninguna determinación' del Gobierno respecto a la designación o terminación del TPS de un país.”
