On August 5, 2026, Judge Ana C. Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order acknowledging the Supreme Court’s decision in Mullin v. Doe and confirming that the injunction which had blocked the termination of Haiti’s TPS designation is lifted. With this order, the court case that protected TPS holders for many months has reached its end.
We share this news plainly because our families deserve accurate information, not rumors. The legal fight in the courts has concluded. What has not concluded is the legislative path, the pastoral mission, and the love of God for His people.
Three things remain true
- Legislation is still possible. The House has already passed a bipartisan extension to 2029. The Senate has not yet acted. Our bishops continue to advocate, and every phone call to a senator matters.
- Individual protections may still apply. Pending asylum and other forms of relief are evaluated case by case. See an accredited legal representative before making any decision.
- The Church is not leaving. Our parishes, our priests, and the National Center will accompany every family, in Kreyol, English, and French, through whatever comes.
As Cardinal Langlois reminded us: “Temporary protections may come to an end, but God’s grace never ends.” Read his full homily here, and find trusted referrals on our TPS Resources page.
