Latest development

Ninth Circuit ordered 14-day administrative stay tied to Supreme Court judgment

The November 3 order supersedes the October 30 denial. It grants an administrative stay for 14 days beginning with issuance of the Supreme Court’s judgment on November 6; the Supreme Court docket reviewed here does not yet record issuance. No new merits ruling is established. A November 5 order consolidates No. 26-187 with No. 25-5724 and requires the supplemental briefs ordered November 3 to discuss both appeals.

About the case

On November 3, 2026, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its October 30 stay-denial order and granted a 14-day administrative stay beginning when the Supreme Court’s judgment issues on November 6. The court will set expedited merits briefing separately. This administrative stay does not decide the merits or establish that Venezuelan TPS protections resume on November 6. On November 5, the court consolidated appeals 25-5724 and 26-187 and directed supplemental briefs to address both appeals; that order does not alter the administrative stay or decide the merits.

Relief

The plaintiffs seek to preserve Venezuela and Haiti TPS protections and invalidate the challenged rollback decisions.

What's next

Verify issuance of the Supreme Court judgment identified for November 6 in the November 3 order, and any later stay or briefing orders in consolidated appeals 25-5724 and 26-187. The expected date has passed; issuance and the resulting stay period remain unverified.
