HISTORICAL CONTEXT

Temporary Protected Status for Haiti was originally granted following the 2010 earthquake. The program has been renewed multiple times across both Democratic and Republican administrations due to ongoing country conditions including political instability, gang violence, and humanitarian crisis. Previous attempts to terminate TPS have been blocked by federal courts on procedural grounds. The current case represents the most serious legal threat to Haitian TPS protections in recent years.
