Story summary

The Supreme Court will decide whether courts can review the administration’s move to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration asks the Court to lift blocks and end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
The Justice Department, represented by Solicitor General D. John Sauer, argues the TPS statute expressly bars judicial review of the secretary’s termination decision.

History

Historical Context

The 1990 Immigration and Nationality Act, signed by President George H.W. Bush, authorized the Attorney General to grant Temporary Protected Status. After the 2003 DHS reorganization, the program covered about 300,000 people by 2017, chiefly Haitians and Syrians. In 2024 the Trump administration petitioned the Supreme Court to end TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
