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.
