The case of Mullin v. Doe focuses on whether the Trump administration can end the Temporary Protected Status Program for Syrian and Haitian nationals in the United States.

On April 13, 2026, The National Immigration Law Center filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court uplifting the stories of directly impacted TPS holders who are at risk of losing everything if the Court rules in favor of the Trump administration. While the government is appealing lower court decisions for Syria and Haiti, the fate of hundreds of thousands of TPS holders from 13 other countries hangs in the balance.

The terminations would cause family separation, economic devastation for TPS holders and their families, and would be yet another blow to the U.S. economy. Many would be forced to return to countries where they face danger and persecution.  In solidarity with 26 co-signatories, NILC urged the Supreme Court to deny this administration’s arbitrary decision to upend the lives of TPS holders for the sake of its mass deportation agenda.

The individuals described in this brief are not fictional characters. They are long-term residents of this country who have built families, sustained communities, and contributed to the national economy, all while complying with the legal framework Congress created for exactly their circumstances. Forcing TPS holders’ return to conditions of violence, instability, and disaster would cause irreversible harm to them, their families and the communities that depend on them.
