In early 2010, an earthquake in Haiti prompted the Obama Administration to grant Temporary Protected Status (T.P.S.) to Haitians in the U.S., allowing them to work and remain in the country due to unsafe conditions in Haiti. Currently, an estimated 13,000 T.P.S. holders work as nursing assistants, and many have U.S.-born children. T.P.S. grants typically last 18 months, but a federal judge blocked the Trump Administration's attempt to end T.P.S. for Haitians, citing potential racial motivation. However, in June 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration could proceed with terminating T.P.S. for approximately 330,000 Haitians and 4,000 Syrians. Following this ruling, confusion ensued as the Administration announced expiration dates for work permits despite ongoing legal proceedings. The Trump Administration has reportedly removed protections from over one million individuals with T.P.S. and similar statuses since January 2025. As of September 2026, the last major T.P.S. designations are set to expire, affecting many individuals from various countries, including El Salvador, Venezuela, and Honduras.
