Federal court hearing January 6 examines TPS termination legality affecting over 350,000 Haitian beneficiaries with February 3 expiration. DHS sending notifications warning beneficiaries to prepare departure within one month after deadline unless judicial intervention. January 06, 2026 Compressed timeline creates 28 days to TPS expiration and 32 days to CPT expiration with potential for simultaneous crises.
