The Department of Homeland Security has initiated the process of terminating temporary protected status for nationals of seven countries, acting after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to end protections for thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a series of notices on Tuesday to Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements user agencies, addressing TPS designations for Haiti, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Burma (Myanmar), and South Sudan. The notices specify that TPS-related documentation for affected nationals will remain valid only through July 10.

The administrative step follows the Supreme Court’s 6‑3 ruling in Mullin v. Doe, which directly involved Haiti and Syria. In that decision, the court sided with DHS and lifted lower‑court orders that had blocked the administration from carrying out TPS terminations for those two countries.

USCIS did not characterize the July 10 date as a new long‑term extension. Instead, several notices described the short window as “limited relief” that will remain in place only until the relevant lower courts “align” with the Supreme Court’s ruling in Mullin. That phrasing suggests DHS views the high court’s decision as controlling beyond the two countries directly before the justices, while also acknowledging that some lower‑court orders remain in effect.

The agency’s notices direct SAVE users—including state and local agencies that verify immigration status for public benefits or other programs—to follow updated verification guidance for affected TPS holders.

Temporary protected status allows foreign nationals already in the United States to remain and obtain work authorization when their home countries are deemed unsafe because of war, natural disaster, or other extraordinary conditions. The designation is intended to be temporary but has often been extended for years. The Trump administration has argued that several TPS designations have outlived their original purpose and that the executive branch has broad authority to determine when conditions no longer justify protected status.

The notices do not indicate whether the Department of Justice has filed motions in each affected district court seeking to dissolve or modify injunctions. But they make clear that DHS is preparing to wind down TPS protections for the affected countries on July 10 unless another court order intervenes. The move could affect thousands of foreign nationals who have relied on TPS‑related work authorization and protection from deportation.
