History

Historical Context

Established by the Immigration Act of 1990, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows individuals from crisis-affected countries to remain in the U.S. Since then, over 400,000 immigrants, including many Haitians, have benefited from this humanitarian measure. Recent legal challenges, particularly a D.C. Circuit Court ruling, underscore ongoing debates about TPS's future and its implications for U.S. immigration policy.
