Terminations of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations

Venezuela stay tied to Supreme Court judgment; issuance unverified

No verified operative order stops the tracked terminations. The Supreme Court reversed the Haiti and Syria postponements June 25; district courts vacated Yemen relief August 11 and denied Somalia interim relief August 14. On November 3, the Ninth Circuit withdrew its October 30 stay denial and ordered a 14-day administrative stay beginning with issuance of the Supreme Court judgment, expected November 6. That date has passed; issuance remains unverified. The order does not decide the merits or establish restored TPS.

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.

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: the September 5, 2025 judgment setting aside the TPS vacatur and termination was stayed by the Supreme Court. On November 3, 2026 the Ninth Circuit withdrew its prior stay denial and granted a 14-day administrative stay beginning when the Supreme Court’s judgment issues November 6. Its order calls the district ruling a preliminary injunction. The judgment’s issuance and the effect on current TPS holders require rechecking; this order does not itself establish restored protection.

For practitioners

  • Haiti: the D.D.C. confirmed August 5 that its stay of the November 28, 2025 termination ended; other claims continue. Syria: postponement reversed; plaintiffs replied September 30 and defendants October 9 on remand cross-motions; no ruling verified. Yemen: postponement vacated August 11; October 6 dismissal left intentional discrimination; renewed preliminary relief denied; certification and discovery-stay requests held in abeyance October 20. Somalia: interim relief denied August 14; appeal No. 26-1930 (First Circuit). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
  • 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: the Supreme Court vacated the January Ninth Circuit decision October 5, 2026. On November 3 the panel withdrew its October 30 stay denial and granted a 14-day administrative stay beginning when the Supreme Court judgment issues, identified for November 6; actual issuance remains unverified. November 6 does not automatically restore TPS. The appellate order calls the district ruling a preliminary injunction; the 2025 Supreme Court stay describes a final judgment. On November 5, appeals 25-5724 and 26-187 were consolidated for supplemental briefing. [1][2][3][4][5][6]
  • 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]
  • Haiti: defendants moved October 20 for judgment on all claims (ECF 152); no ruling is verified. The November 4 order denies magistrate referral and requires two in-person meet-and-confer sessions before further discovery briefing. If disputes persist, defendants may oppose the motion to compel by December 18, 2026 and plaintiffs may respond by January 15, 2027. These steps do not restore TPS. Later stay orders and the effect of the expired Venezuela extension on current holders remain to be verified. [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 cannot review most challenges to those decisions. Constitutional claims continue. No verified operative order stops the tracked terminations. For Venezuela, a November 3 appeals-court order pauses the lower court’s relief for 14 days starting when the Supreme Court judgment issues. The order expected issuance November 6, but actual issuance remains unverified. It does not establish that TPS resumed on that date. An immigration lawyer can tell you what applies to you.
