美国最高法院于6月25日允许特朗普政府终止海地人和叙利亚人的临时保护身份(TPS)[1]。随着这一决定生效,数十万名持有人正面临失业和遣返的风险。
洪都拉斯的TPS已于2025年9月8日终止,萨尔瓦多的TPS定于9月9日过期[1]。根据数据统计,马萨诸塞州有22,000至45,000名海地TPS持有者、7,354名萨尔瓦多TPS持有者和972名新贝德福德的洪都拉斯居民受到影响[1]。海地工作许可证的有效期至2025年7月24日[1]。
2023年美国移民委员会的分析显示,164,000名海地TPS持有者缴纳了近9.84亿美元的税款[1]。新贝德福德等社区的数千名受影响者正面临生活和经济不确定性。
在国会层面,众议院于4月通过了两党立法,提议将海地TPS延长至2029年4月[1]。该法案在参议院需要60票方可通过,即使通过总统也可能行使否决权,推翻否决则需67票[1]。
最高法院的判决明确指出,TPS终止权完全属于国土安全部的裁量权,法院无权进行干预[1]。
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way in June for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals from Haiti and Syria [1]. The decision has set in motion the expiration of protections for thousands of immigrants facing potential job loss and deportation.
Honduras' TPS program terminated on September 8, 2025, while El Salvador's protection is set to expire on September 9, 2025 [1]. The affected populations include an estimated 22,000 to 45,000 Haitian TPS holders in Massachusetts alone, along with 7,354 Salvadoran TPS holders in the state [1]. In New Bedford, Massachusetts, approximately 972 Honduran residents held the status [1]. Haitian work permits remain valid through July 24, 2025 [1].
According to a 2023 analysis by the American Immigration Council, approximately 164,000 Haitian TPS holders contributed nearly $984 million in taxes [1]. These individuals now face profound uncertainty regarding their legal status and economic future in the United States.
The House passed bipartisan legislation in April to extend Haiti's TPS through April 2029, but the measure faces an uphill battle in the Senate, which requires 60 votes to advance the bill S.4814 [1]. Should the legislation pass, it would need a two-thirds majority—67 votes—to override a potential presidential veto [1].
The Supreme Court's ruling affirmed that the Department of Homeland Security holds complete discretionary authority over TPS termination, with courts having no power to intervene in such decisions [1].
