In Mullin v. Doe, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision allowed the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians and about 6,000 Syrians. The Court also ruled that those determinations are not subject to judicial review, removing a key legal check on the administration's authority. Nursing homes, factory owners and immigrant communities warned of immediate fallout, saying loss of work authorization would disrupt care and operations. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the ruling will "cripple our healthcare system" by reducing staff. Ohio officials pointed to Springfield and central Ohio, where about 30,000 Haitians live and analysts projected economic losses exceeding $400 million if deportations occur. Attorneys Geoff Pipoly and Andy Tauber, who represented Haitians in the case, said the decision will "directly result in thousands of innocent people dying violent, needless deaths." The ruling does not itself order deportations, but the Department of Homeland Security now has authority to terminate protections and its timing will determine who loses work authorization and faces removal.
