Trump wins as Haiti TPS injunction lifted after Supreme Court ruling

Key Points:

• A federal judge acknowledged that the court order blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians is no longer in effect following the Supreme Court's ruling in Mullin v. Doe, allowing the administration to terminate TPS protections for 330,000 to 350,000 Haitians.
• This decision marks a significant immigration victory for former President Donald Trump, who campaigned on ending the Biden administration's expanded TPS protections for Haitians amid concerns over migrant influx and local community impacts.
• The Supreme Court ruled that TPS termination decisions are generally not subject to judicial review unless constitutional issues arise, and found plaintiffs' equal protection claims unlikely to succeed, remanding the case for further proceedings.
• The Department of Homeland Security announced that Haiti's TPS designation ended on July 27, with employment authorizations no longer valid, and employers instructed to reverify affected workers' status amid ongoing safety concerns in Haiti.
• The remaining litigation will focus on whether the administration's termination of TPS was motivated by unconstitutional racial animus, while the State Department continues to advise against travel to Haiti due to gang violence and civil unrest.
