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

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.
