History

Historical Context

The Immigration Act of 1990 created TPS, and after the 1991 Aristide coup the United States granted Haitian TPS, eventually covering about 350,000 people. On June 25 2026 the Supreme Court’s decision in Mullin v. Doe held that the TPS statute bars judicial review, letting the Department of Homeland Security end those protections. The ruling revives the executive-driven volatility first seen in the early-1990s.
