Supreme Court Ruling Puts Work Permits at Risk for Thousands of TPS Holders

Thousands of immigrants from Haiti and Syria who hold Temporary Protected Status could soon find themselves unable to legally work in the United States, following a recent decision handed down by the Supreme Court.

The ruling has placed TPS holders — a group that includes many Haitian and Syrian nationals — on the verge of losing the work permits that have allowed them to remain employed while living in the U.S. under the humanitarian protection program.
