Two U.S. district judges have rejected cases defending the continuation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from South Sudan and Myanmar, putting some individuals at risk of deportation. Following these rulings, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued alerts confirming that, effective August 7, 2026, TPS designations for both countries have been halted. This development marks the end of temporary protections that had allowed migrants from these nations to remain in the United States under TPS.
