Haitian Lawyers Urge Supreme Court to Drop TPS Case for 350,000 Migrants

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jun 16

Summary

  • Tuesday’s filing asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the Haiti TPS case and return it to lower courts for further proceedings.
  • Newly released internal emails show DHS ended deportation protections for more than 350,000 Haitians last June without obtaining State Department input, despite repeatedly seeking its recommendation beforehand.
  • That missing consultation cuts to the central legal question before the justices: whether DHS followed the process federal law requires before terminating Temporary Protected Status.
  • A ruling expected by the end of June could determine whether the Trump administration can immediately end Haiti’s protections and shape its broader effort to terminate TPS for about 1 million migrants from more than a dozen countries.
