US federal judge terminates Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians
A federal judge has cleared the way for the Trump administration to officially end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitian nationals. The ruling, finalized on August 5, 2026, removes legal protections for these individuals, leaving them in a state of employment and residency limbo and potentially subject to deportation as the administration moves forward with its immigration policy changes.
