About the case

Dahlia Doe v. Noem is a major TPS case because it controls how much judicial review is available when DHS terminates country-specific humanitarian protections. On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court held in the consolidated TPS cases that the TPS statute bars nonconstitutional challenges to TPS termination determinations, reversing lower-court orders that had postponed the Syria and Haiti terminations. On remand, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in No. 1:25-cv-08686 on July 27. The government submitted a September 11 memorandum supporting its cross-motion to dismiss or alternatively for summary judgment.

Relief

The plaintiffs sought to preserve Syria TPS during litigation; the Supreme Court decision removes the interim postponement order, leaving any remaining merits or remand proceedings to continue without that relief.

What's next

The next milestone is a district-court decision on the remand merits motions and remaining claims.
