History

Historical Context

The Immigration Act of 1990, signed by President George H. W. Bush on Nov 29 1990, created Temporary Protected Status, first granted to Salvadoran and Haitian refugees—about 100,000 Haitians received work permits in 1991. The Supreme Court’s June 25 2026 ruling limiting judicial review of DHS’s power to end TPS echoes that original intent, shaping future litigation for thousands of beneficiaries.
