Terminations of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations

Supreme Court stay of the Venezuela judgment expected to end November 6, 2026

No court order currently stops the terminations for Haiti, Syria, Yemen, Somalia or Venezuela, but the posture varies by country. The Supreme Court reversed the Haiti and Syria postponements on June 25, 2026; a district court vacated the Yemen postponement on August 11 and another denied Somalia interim relief on August 14. For Venezuela, a 2025 judgment setting aside the vacatur and termination is stayed by the Supreme Court; the Ninth Circuit's October 30 order expects that stay to end November 6, 2026, and denies the government a new stay.

The policy

Since early 2025, DHS has ended Temporary Protected Status for a series of countries, including Venezuela, Haiti, Syria, Yemen and Somalia, by terminating designations and, for Venezuela and Haiti, vacating or shortening extensions granted in January 2025 and July 2024. TPS holders and organizations sued country by country, mostly under the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment. On June 25, 2026, in Mullin v. Doe, the Supreme Court held that the TPS statute bars non-constitutional challenges to these decisions and reversed orders that had postponed the Haiti and Syria terminations. Constitutional claims and the Venezuela case, now back in the Ninth Circuit, continue. This page tracks the Haiti, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Yemen cases; other countries' cases aren't reflected yet.

Court rulings

Rulings on the policy by court. Stay and procedural rulings say what the court did and aren't counted in the circuit row.

U.S. Supreme Court Equal-protection claim unlikely to succeed; stay reversedPreliminary ruling Fritz Emmanuel Lesly Miot v. TrumpNo. 25A999 · Jun 25, 2026 Haiti. Equal-protection claim unlikely to succeed; D.D.C. stay reversed.
9th Cir. Further stay denied after remandStay ruling National TPS Alliance v. NoemNo. 25-05724 · Oct 30, 2026 Venezuela. Denied the government's stay pending appeal after the Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit's merits decision on Oct. 5; not a merits ruling.

Who's covered

No order tracked on this page currently gives relief from this policy.

Relief that's stayed

A higher court has stayed these orders, so they give no relief while the stay lasts.

  • Not currently operative. Everywhere the policy applies

    Venezuela only: September 5, 2025 order and judgment; Venezuela relief stayed (No. 25A326). The Northern District of California held unlawful and set aside the Secretary's vacatur of a pending TPS extension for Venezuelan nationals and her termination of that status. The Supreme Court stayed those parts on October 3, 2025. The Ninth Circuit's October 30, 2026 order, which calls the ruling a preliminary injunction, says that stay expires when the Supreme Court's mandate issues on November 6, 2026, and denies a new stay.

For practitioners

  • As of October 31, 2026. Haiti: on August 5 the D.D.C. confirmed its stay of the November 28, 2025 termination notice has ended; other claims continue. Syria: the S.D.N.Y. postponement was reversed; the government cross-moved September 11 to dismiss or for summary judgment. Yemen: postponement vacated August 11; on October 6 the court dismissed all claims except intentional discrimination and denied a second preliminary-injunction motion; on October 20 it held certification and discovery-stay requests in abeyance. Somalia: interim relief denied August 14; appeal is First Circuit No. 26-1930. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
  • Mullin v. Doe, No. 25-1083, holds that 8 U.S.C. § 1254a(b)(5)(A) bars review of non-constitutional claims about a TPS designation, termination or extension, including procedural claims. It decided one constitutional claim, Haiti's equal-protection claim, at the interim-relief stage. On August 14 the Somalia court held it may still hear constitutional claims but found the plaintiffs unlikely to succeed. In the Venezuela and Haiti case, the parties agree two equal-protection counts remain, and the court denied leave to add three new constitutional claims as futile (ECF 487). [1][2][3]
  • Venezuela procedure. On October 5, 2026 the Supreme Court granted the petition in No. 26-48, vacated the Ninth Circuit's January 2026 decision affirming the judgment, and remanded in light of Mullin v. Doe. The government moved that day for a stay to take effect November 6. The Ninth Circuit denied it and an alternative administrative stay of at least 21 days, and will set expedited merits briefing. Its order calls the district ruling a preliminary injunction; the Supreme Court's 2025 stay order describes it as a final judgment. [1][2][3][4]
  • Dates that matter for Venezuela. Per the N.D. Cal.'s October 14, 2026 order, the January 2025 extension that the Secretary vacated would have run the 2023 Venezuela designation from April 2, 2025 to October 2, 2026, and her termination set an April 2, 2025 end date. Plaintiffs' October 15 opposition in the Ninth Circuit disputed the government's mootness argument; no court has ruled on mootness in the orders reviewed here. [1][2][3]
  • What this page hasn't confirmed as of October 31, 2026: whether the government seeks a new stay after the October 30 order, when the Supreme Court's judgment is actually sent down, what the expired extension means for current Venezuelan holders, and later orders in the other countries' cases. November 6 is a date to recheck, not an automatic change in status. [1][2]

In plain language

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) lets people from some countries live and work in the U.S. for a time. The government has ended TPS for many countries, and people sued. In June 2026 the Supreme Court said courts can't review most challenges to these decisions. Claims based on the Constitution are still being argued. Right now, no court order stops the end of TPS for Haiti, Syria, Yemen, Somalia or Venezuela. For Venezuela, a court ruled against the government in 2025, but that ruling has been on hold. The hold is set to end on November 6, 2026. What that means for Venezuelans isn't settled yet. The cases are still going. If you have or had TPS, an immigration lawyer can tell you what applies to you.
