Supreme Court Weighs Trump Move to End TPS for Haitians and Syrians

The case will decide how much oversight courts have over DHS when it ends Temporary Protected Status.

Rachel Blumberg, CEO of Sinai Residences in Florida, has already spent $600,000 on raises, bonuses and training new staff in response to Haitian TPS holders potentially losing their protection.

Overview

  • The justices hear arguments Wednesday on ending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti and Syria, a program that lets people from unsafe countries live and work in the U.S.
  • Lawyers for TPS holders say DHS skipped required procedures, failed to consult the State Department on country conditions, and targeted Black immigrants through biased decision-making.
  • U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues judges cannot second-guess the DHS secretary’s determinations and urges deference to the agency’s TPS calls.
  • A decision expected in late June or July could let the government move forward while the cases return to lower courts, increasing the risk of deportation and loss of work permits for Haitians and Syrians.
  • The stakes reach far beyond these two countries, as roughly 1.3 million people with TPS are watching, including about 200,000 Salvadorans whose jobs, families, and remittances to relatives back home could be disrupted.
