About the case
After the Supreme Court reversed interim postponement of Syria TPS termination on June 25, 2026, district litigation continued in S.D.N.Y. No. 1:25-cv-08686. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint July 27. The government sought dismissal or alternatively summary judgment in September; plaintiffs filed their combined reply and opposition September 30, followed by the government’s reply October 9. These are party briefs, not a ruling restoring TPS or deciding the remand claims.
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
District-court ruling on plaintiffs’ partial-summary-judgment motion and defendants’ dismissal/summary-judgment cross-motion.
