History

Historical Context

President George H.W. Bush granted Haitian TPS in 1990, protecting about 30,000 workers who later contributed roughly $1 billion annually. After the 2010 earthquake the program expanded to over 300,000 beneficiaries. A 6-3 Supreme Court decision on June 25 2026 cleared the way for DHS to end TPS, and Judge Ana C. Reyes’ August 6 order revoked protection for 190,000 Haitians, reigniting labor and legal battles.
