The National TPS Alliance is an organization formed and led by Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients who seek to preserve the TPS program and create a pathway to permanent residency. The National TPS Alliance, along with a group of individual TPS recipients from Venezuela have filed a lawsuit against Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security challenging Secretary Noem's decision to revoke the 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan migrants granted by the Biden administration in January 2025. Plaintiffs are also challenging Secretary Noem's decision to partially vacate the TPS extension and redesignation for Haiti granted by the Biden administration in July 2024. The plaintiffs argue that Noem's decisions violate the Administrative Procedure Act as well as TPS holders' Fifth Amendment right to due process. The plaintiffs request that the court declare Noem's reversals of the TPS extensions unlawful and order the extensions to remain in effect.
