Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Trump administration's effort to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in consolidated cases Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot over the Trump administration's move to end Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The court's conservative majority signaled skepticism toward judicial review of TPS decisions, with some justices indicating that a congressional provision may bar courts from reviewing such determinations. Liberal justices Sotomayor and Jackson questioned the administration's solicitor general about whether racial animus, including Trump's prior remarks about Haiti, rendered the decision unlawfully pretextual.
