SCOTUS To Hear Trump Challenge to TPS for Syrian, Haitian Migrants

The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will review the Trump administration’s attempt to revoke temporary legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants living in the United States. The development comes as the president aims to fulfill his promises of strict immigration enforcement during his second term in office.

For the time being, the justices upheld two lower court orders that prevent the Trump administration from immediately ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrian and Haitian migrants. However, the Supreme Court has agreed to review the consolidated cases on an expedited basis and announced that it will hear oral arguments in both cases next month, Fox News reported.

The outlet added that a final ruling is expected sometime in June.

The news comes as the Trump administration has taken steps to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for migrants from about six countries. This includes approximately 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians currently residing in the United States under the program.

The TPS program allows individuals from certain countries to live and work legally in the U.S. if they are unable to return safely to their home country due to a disaster, armed conflict, or other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.”
