Temporary Protected Status – USA – Lesson Plan

In June 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in a case called Mullin v. Doe and allowed the government to end Temporary Protected Status for people from Haiti and Syria. About 350,000 Haitians and several thousand Syrians would lose both their legal status and their permission to work. This ready to teach lesson plan focuses on the USA Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the removal of countries from the TPS program. Differentiated for Grades 6-12.
