Miot and Noem v. Doe. Yet the outcome could reverberate far beyond those two nations, leaving immigrants from more than a dozen other countries in suspense.[3]

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem determined last year that conditions in Haiti and Syria no longer warranted TPS protections. The program shields nationals of designated countries from deportation and grants work authorization amid ongoing crises like natural disasters or armed conflict.[2] Federal judges intervened, however, citing potential violations of administrative law and hints of bias against nonwhite immigrants.
