US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to end Haitian protected status
The administration seeks to end protections for over 350,000 Haitians under TPS despite a federal court ruling citing likely racial animus.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court to permit his administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitians, escalating a legal battle over humanitarian deportation protections.
- The appeal follows a February ruling by District Judge Ana Reyes, who blocked the administration from ending protections, citing claims that the decision was motivated by racial animus toward Haitians.
- Reyes wrote that while officials hold First Amendment rights, the administration is "constrained by both the Constitution and federal law" to apply facts to the law when implementing the TPS program.
- Homeland Security has sought to terminate TPS for other groups, including more than 6,000 Syrians, alongside efforts to end protections for nationals from Honduras, Nepal, and South Sudan.
- The Supreme Court previously sided with the administration on TPS appeals involving Venezuela, indicating the court may continue to afford broad deference to the government's authority to cancel these designations.
