The United States Supreme Court has cleared the way for Donald Trump to strip Temporary Protected Status from more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, in a ruling that hands the former president sweeping power over the future of hundreds of thousands of migrants living and working legally in America.
In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines on 25 June 2026, the conservative majority held in Mullin v. Doe that federal courts have no authority to review a president's decision to terminate TPS designations. The judgment ends a months-long legal battle in which two federal district courts had blocked the administration's plans, and leaves the White House's control over the programme largely insulated from judicial challenge.
