HISTORICAL CONTEXT
TPS for Haitians was originally granted following the January 2010 earthquake and has been
repeatedly extended through successive administrations in recognition of ongoing instability. The
current litigation arises from a 2025 executive action to terminate TPS for multiple nationalities.
Remittances from the Haitian diaspora in the United States represent approximately 40 percent
of Haiti's GDP in recent years, making this population's legal status a direct macroeconomic
variable for Haiti's political transition timeline.
