Supreme Court to weigh Trump's bid to end deportation shield for Haitians, Syrians
The Supreme Court is considering the Trump administration's effort to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nationals from Syria and Haiti, potentially affecting thousands of individuals who have lived and worked in the U.S. for years. Plaintiffs, including Syrian nationals like Dahlia Doe, argue that ending TPS would uproot their lives and send them to countries they have never known. The outcome hinges on whether the administration's decision aligns with the statutory framework Congress established for TPS designations and extensions.
- ▪The Trump administration moved to end TPS for over 6,000 Syrians, giving them 60 days to leave the U.S. or face deportation.
- ▪Dahlia Doe, a Syrian national who has lived in the U.S. for over a decade, fears being sent to a country she has never lived in if TPS is revoked.
- ▪The Supreme Court is hearing two cases, Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, concerning the termination of TPS for Syria and Haiti.
- ▪TPS was created by Congress in 1990 to provide temporary relief from deportation for people from countries affected by war, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions.
- ▪The Obama administration first granted TPS to Syria in 2012 due to civil conflict and to Haiti in 2010 following a devastating earthquake.
