New York City Moves to Cut Haitian TPS Jobs After Federal End

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said federal authorities directed City Hall to review the work authorization of Haitian TPS holders and separate those without viable legal status, potentially leading to hundreds of terminations as TPS ends after the Supreme Court revoked the program; the city will offer support such as free legal consultations and help finding other work, while Mamdani urged President Trump to reinstate TPS or grant Deferred Enforced Departure. Haitian communities fear deportations and disruptions to hospitals, construction and hospitality sectors that rely on TPS workers.

Court ends Haitian TPS protections, paving the way for deportations

A federal judge officially allowed the Trump administration to end Haiti’s Temporary Protected Status, removing work authorization protections for TPS recipients and clearing the path for their removal to Haiti. The decision follows a Supreme Court ruling, with ICE beginning enforcement steps and some Haitians facing potential detention or ankle monitors, while others seek alternative relief like asylum. The change is expected to impact sectors that employ Haitian TPS workers, such as elder care, hospitality, and retail, though some beneficiaries may still pursue other legal statuses.

ICE rolls out ankle monitors for Haitian TPS holders in Ohio

The Department of Homeland Security is summoning Haitian immigrants in Ohio to check-in appointments and outfitting them with ankle monitors, a move that appears to be a new enforcement push after a Supreme Court decision allowed the ending of Haitians’ humanitarian protections (TPS). Advocates say the tactic marks a quieter deportation effort that could affect those with asylum claims who have TPS but no deportation orders, while they face travel restrictions and mounting enforcement pressure.

TPS in limbo as courts mull new constitutional challenges after Supreme Court ruling

After the Supreme Court narrowed judicial review of terminating TPS designations, advocates are retooling to press constitutional and ultra vires claims to block removals for Syrians and thousands more. Several federal courts have kept TPS in place for South Sudan, Burma, and Ethiopia while new arguments unfold; the DOJ contends the authority rests with the Homeland Security secretary, but challengers argue due process safeguards and authority over termination must be scrutinized, including efforts to probe possible discriminatory motives in Haiti’s designation as discovery continues.

DeWine presses Trump to reconsider ending Haitian TPS despite Supreme Court ruling

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine urged President Trump to rethink ending Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, arguing safety concerns from Haiti’s gang violence and the jobs Haitians hold in Ohio justify treating them with refugee-like relief, even as the Supreme Court clears TPS termination from judicial review. About 350,000 Haitians nationwide are on TPS, including more than 10,000 in Ohio; DeWine stressed policy should guide decisions. DHS Secretary Mullin outlined options for Haitians—pursue permanent residence, obtain another visa, or return with government assistance—while noting a compensation figure of roughly $2,100 per person for those who return.
