Federal court has not issued TPS ruling three days after January 6 hearing affecting 350000 Haitian beneficiaries. Dual uncertainty with February 3 TPS expiration and February 7 CPT mandate expiration affecting same population. Each day of court delay reduces operational window for appeals emergency stays or congressional intervention. TPS termination combined with February 7 constitutional crisis could trigger deportations to country without functioning government. Diaspora remittances estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars annually would face disruption if deportations proceed. Legal status uncertainty may reduce diaspora willingness to engage in February 7 governance mobilization efforts.
