Trump administration asks the Supreme Court to allow an end to legal protections for Syrian migrants

The Justice Department seeks to lift a federal injunction blocking the Trump administration’s move to end protections for 6,000 Syrians under Temporary Protected Status.

  • On Thursday the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court for emergency relief to let the Trump administration end legal protections for migrants from Syria and urged the court to lift a New York judge's injunction.
  • On Thursday, Noem announced that protections for Syria, designated in 2012 after a 'brutal crackdown' by Bashar al-Assad, would end due to the fall of the regime and normalization with Damascus.
  • Court filings say about 6,100 people from Syria hold temporary legal status, while 3,860 Syrian nationals were covered as of March 31, 2025; ending TPS could halt work authorization and expose beneficiaries to possible deportation.
