National TPS Alliance v. Noem

National TPS Alliance v. Noem is an ongoing court case in the United States brought by 7 temporary protected status (TPS) recipients challenging the second Trump administration's actions to terminate TPS for Venezuelans and later amended to include Haitians. The TPS recipients are represented by the National TPS Alliance (an organization composed of TPS recipients from across the country), the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), the California branches of the American Civil Liberties Union, and staff at the UCLA Law Center for Immigration Law and Policy. The suit follows Ramos v. Nielsen, a case deliberated during the first Trump administration over the repeal of TPS designation for status holders from several nations.

In March 2025, District Judge Edward M. Chen ordered the administration's actions be postponed. In May 2025, the United States Supreme Court granted an application by the administration to stay Chen's March 2025 order and sent the case to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals via the shadow docket. In August 2025, the Ninth Circuit affirmed Chen's March 2025 order. In September 2025, Chen granted the TPS recipient's motion for summary judgment, which the Supreme Court again stayed in October 2025. In January 2026, the Ninth Circuit affirmed Chen's September 2025 ruling.
