Haiti
Update: On February 2, 2026, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from terminating Haitian TPS for now. This means that 350,000 Haitian TPS holders will continue to receive protection from deportation and work authorization while the case proceeds to the U.S. Supreme Court. While this is not a final victory in the fight to preserve Haitian TPS, it pauses the Trump administration’s effort to end these protections.
It is important that TPS holders immediately seek legal advice from a trusted immigration attorney for more information and questions about how this may impact them or their loved ones.
- Until the U.S. Supreme Court decides otherwise, TPS and related work authorization for Haitian TPS holders has been extended and remains valid, per a federal court order.
- A TPS holder who has applied for other immigration relief, for example asylum, may be authorized to work based on another pending application, and may provide proof of other forms of employment authorization to employers.
- If your employer asks, you can show them this federal court order, showing that work authorization for TPS holders from Haiti has been extended and remains valid.
- You can also show them this USCIS page: Temporary Protected Status Designated Country: Haiti which reflects the validity of Haitian TPS work authorization.
- If your employer asks, and you have work authorization pursuant to another form of immigration relief, such as a pending asylum claim, you can show them your work permit pursuant to other immigration relief.
- If you are represented by a union, contact your Union Representative.
- If you are represented by a union, contact your Union Representative. Your union can bargain with your employer for an unpaid leave of absence, severance pay, or other separation benefits.
- Contact a trusted immigration attorney immediately. Beware of “notarios” or scammers. Find a reputable legal service provider near you.
There are various lawsuits involving the Trump administration’s termination of Haitian TPS. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in one of these cases, Minot v. Noem, 1:25-cv-02471, in April, following the government’s appeal of the federal D.C. district court decision that blocks the February 3, 2026, termination of TPS for Haiti. However, TPS holders from Haiti will continue to enjoy protection from deportation and related work authorization until the Supreme Court issues a decision stating otherwise. Additional details will be known in the coming weeks. Asylum applications may still be filed.
