Yes, there is a lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York challenging the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Syrians. This case is Doe v. Noem, Case No. 25-cv-8686 (S.D.N.Y.). On November 19, 2025, the Court ordered an emergency postponement of the termination of Syrian TPS (slated to take effect, Friday, November 21). As a result, more than 6,100 Syrian TPS-holders will be able to keep their TPS and related work authorization and protected from deportation—unless and until a further court order pauses or reverses the postponement. We expect this decision to be appealed, but celebrate the win.
