History

Historical Context

Congress created temporary protected status in 1900 and codified it in the 1990 Immigration Act. After the 1991 coup that ousted Haiti’s President Aristide, the U.S. granted Haitian TPS, eventually covering roughly 350,000 people. In February 2026 a D.C. Circuit panel blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to end that protection, reaffirming the historic legal safeguard.
