U.S. Supreme Court and Federal Judge Allow Termination of TPS for Haitians, Syrians, and Ethiopians
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 25, 2025, that the Trump Administration can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 330,000 Haitians and 4,000 Syrians, overturning a lower court block. Subsequently, a federal judge in Boston lifted the last legal barrier to ending TPS for about 5,000 Ethiopians, following the Supreme Court’s precedent that federal courts cannot review TPS decisions. These actions, part of broader TPS revocations for 13 countries, affect over a million immigrants and risk deportation for many who have lived in the U.S. for years.

US Federal Judge Lifts Block on Ending TPS for Ethiopians
A federal judge in Boston lifted an order blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 5,000 Ethiopians in the U.S., following a Supreme Court ruling that limited judicial review of such decisions. The Department of Homeland Security declared all TPS terminations in effect. Advocacy groups warned the decision puts lives at risk amid ongoing crisis in Ethiopia. The ruling is part of broader Trump administration efforts to end TPS for over a million people from countries including Haiti, Somalia, Venezuela, El Salvador, and Ukraine, straining industries like home care and construction. The judge allowed plaintiffs to continue litigating claims of racial or national origin animus.
Federal judge lifts block on ending TPS for Ethiopians in US
A federal judge in Boston lifted his order blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 5,000 Ethiopians living in the U.S., following a Supreme Court ruling that curtailed judges' ability to review such actions. The Homeland Security Department's General Counsel celebrated the decision, while advocacy group African Communities Together warned it puts thousands at severe risk amid ongoing crisis in Ethiopia. The ruling is part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to end TPS for over a million people from 13 countries, including Haitians, Somalis, and Venezuelans, straining industries like home care and construction. TPS expiration dates also loom for hundreds of thousands from El Salvador and Ukraine. The judge allowed plaintiffs to continue litigating whether the decision was motivated by racial or national origin animus.
Judge Allows Trump to End TPS for Ethiopians, Risking Deportation of 5,000
A federal judge has permitted President Trump to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopians, placing approximately 5,000 immigrants at risk of deportation within 60 days. The decision follows a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that federal courts cannot review TPS decisions by the Department of Homeland Security. U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy lifted the last remaining block on the termination, though the case may continue as defendants argue the decision was motivated by racial or national origin animus. Ethiopians originally received TPS in 2022 during the Tigray war. This action is part of a broader Trump administration crackdown on TPS, which has also ended protections for Haitians (over 300,000 people) and immigrants from South Sudan, Burma, Somalia, Cameroon, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nepal, and Honduras. Critics note that many affected individuals have lived in the U.S. for years and face return to dangerous conditions.

Judge Allows Trump to End TPS for Ethiopians, Risking Deportation of 5,000
A federal judge has allowed the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ethiopians, placing approximately 5,000 immigrants at risk of deportation within 60 days. The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Brian E. Murphy lifts the last remaining legal block, following a June Supreme Court ruling that federal courts cannot review TPS decisions made by the Department of Homeland Security. Ethiopians originally received TPS in 2022 during the Tigray war. The case is expected to continue as plaintiffs attempt to prove the decision was motivated by racial or national origin animus. This action follows the termination of TPS for Haitians earlier in August 2026, affecting over 300,000 people. The Trump administration has now revoked TPS protections for immigrants from 12 countries, including Ethiopia, Haiti, South Sudan, Burma, Somalia, Cameroon, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Nepal, and Honduras.

Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to End TPS for Haitians and Syrians
The article reports on the U.S. Supreme Court's June 25th ruling that allows the Trump Administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 330,000 Haitians and 4,000 Syrians living in the U.S. The decision overturns a lower court's block, which had argued the Department of Homeland Security's action was likely motivated by racism rather than current conditions in Haiti. TPS was originally granted to Haitians after the 2010 earthquake, allowing them to live and work legally in the U.S. Many have built lives, with tens of thousands working as nursing assistants and nearly 400,000 U.S.-born children having at least one TPS parent. The Supreme Court found the Administration cannot be sued for violations of TPS law, effectively ending protections that had been extended for over a decade.

TPS was originally granted to Haitians after the 2010 earthquake, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. The second Trump Administration announced the termination in July 2025, but a federal judge blocked it, citing likely racial motivation. The Supreme Court overturned that block, ruling the Administration cannot be sued for violations of TPS law. The decision ends protections that had been in place for over a decade, affecting hundreds of thousands of immigrants and their U.S.-born children.
