Haitian immigrants filed a petition with the Supreme Court asking the court to toss a case, arguing that it does not have a full record of how the Trump administration decided to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians, according to NPR. The court’s ruling could affect more than a million people, the Guardian reported.

TPS was created by Congress in 1990 as a humanitarian program for people already living in the United States whose home countries were experiencing conditions that made it unsafe to return, as reported by GDELT.

Several Haitian American community advocates expressed a strong negative stance toward the abolition of TPS for Haitian immigrants and called on the U.S. Senate to support measures toward their permanent citizenship, according to WLRN.org.

At a press conference in Little Haiti on June 29, 2026, Tessa Petit, executive director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, said, "We knew a long time ago that Haitians needed a more permanent status in the United States because of our situation in Haiti," as reported by WLRN.org.
