In a statement, the Institute for Justice & Democracy in Haiti (IJDH), a Boston-based human rights NGO working in close partnership with the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) and activists based in Haiti, expressed its dismay at the Supreme Court's decision on Thursday, June 25, 2026, authorizing the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitians. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-47849-haiti-flash-very-bad-news-the-supreme-court-authorizes-the-trump-administration-to-revoke-tps.html “Last Wednesday, our Haitian neighbors benefiting from TPS were working, studying, practicing their religion, enjoying entertainment, and legally contributing to the lives of their communities across the United States. Today, they face family separation, wrongful detention, and the risk of returning to live in appalling conditions in Haiti,” writes the IJDH.

"[...] We are dismayed that our nation’s highest court reached its decision by depriving our courts of jurisdiction to review challenges to abusive executive branch actions that we all relied on. We are incredulous that the Court majority found that none of our President’s well-known loathsome statements about Haitians 'were overtly racial' !"

The IJDH, with the support of its members, intends to continue fighting for Haitians benefiting from Temporary Protected Status (TPS). "[...] In fact, we expected this outcome, and for months have been preparing, along with a host of other advocates, for the next stage of the fight [...] We continued planning with our Congressional allies in Washington [...]"

Furthermore, Emi MacLean, lead counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, which represents Venezuelans, Haitians, Hondurans, Nicaraguans, and Nepalese with Temporary Protected Status (TPS), points out that Supreme Court decisions generally take effect 32 days after they are announced. In the meantime, Haitians and Syrians with TPS can continue to work.

"In 32 days, all Haitians and Syrians who had work authorization through TPS will likely lose it," said Ahilan Arulanantham, co-director of the Miñana Family Center for Immigration Law and Policy.

Lawyers and activists are urging TPS beneficiaries to explore other options for remaining in the United States. These options may include asylum or work visas, although the government has made these alternatives increasingly difficult to obtain. Many of those affected may have to choose between voluntarily returning to their country of origin or facing deportation proceedings.
