On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. The decision does not end TPS or work permits immediately. We are waiting for the lower courts and DHS to confirm the exact end dates. The ruling could also affect TPS court cases for other countries. Follow the National TPS Alliance for updates, and talk to an immigration lawyer about your options.

Changes to TPS Yemen

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people in the United States. TPS is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of danger, such as an armed conflict or environmental disaster.

On May 1, 2026, a court temporarily paused the termination of TPS Yemen that was set for May 4. This means the case will continue to be reviewed in court.

Due to the pause:

  • People from Yemen with TPS still have this protection.
  • Work permits through TPS are still valid.
  • People with pending TPS applications have protection.

The decision to end TPS Yemen is being challenged in court. Court cases on immigration policies can change the rules and be confusing. Read our guide on how court decisions work.

Work permits

If your TPS work permit (EAD) was set to expire on March 3, 2023, September 3, 2024, or March 3, 2026, it is automatically extended. It remains valid while the court case is being reviewed. You can keep using it as proof that you are allowed to work until that date.

What happens when TPS expires?

If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained and deported.
