"The Trump administration filed emergency appeals after lower courts stopped the immediate end of temporary protected status for 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,000 people from Syria. The justice department argued that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has sole power to end the protections, which were originally designed to be temporary."
"Courts in New York and Washington DC, have agreed to delay the end of protections, with one finding that hostility to nonwhite immigrants likely played a role in the decision to end protections for Haitians. Appeals courts left the decisions in place."
"The administration is asking the court for a broad ruling that would block courts from intervening when homeland security decides to end a designation. Authorities have said conditions in the affected countries have improved and denied racial animus played a role."
The Supreme Court refused to immediately lift temporary protected status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, allowing them to continue living and working legally in the US while the case proceeds. The Trump administration seeks authority to end these protections without court intervention, arguing the Department of Homeland Security has sole power over the designations. Lower courts in New York and Washington DC blocked the immediate termination, with one court finding racial animus likely influenced the decision targeting Haitians. Immigration attorneys contend conditions in both countries remain unsafe for return. The conservative-majority court previously allowed termination of protections for 600,000 Venezuelans. About 1.3 million people worldwide currently hold temporary protected status.
