WASHINGTON D.C. — July 24, 2026 — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has once again briefly extended the validity of Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for individuals granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, this time through July 27, 2026 .The EADs were set to expire after today.
The extension aligns with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on June 25, 2026, in Mullin v. Doe, which determined that federal courts are legally prohibited from reviewing nonconstitutional decisions by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the termination of a country's TPS designation. This decision enabled the Trump Administration to move forward with its plan to end TPS for Haiti and Syria.
