US EditionSupreme Court's TPS Case Could Affect Millions of Foreign Nationals Living in the US
The case could affect more than 1 million people from more than a dozen countries if the administration prevails, attorneys said.
- On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments challenging the administration's decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status for an estimated 350,000 Haitians and more than 6,000 Syrians.
- Solicitor General John Sauer argues the TPS terminations rely on national security interests, invoking the 2018 Trump v. Hawaii case where the Supreme Court dismissed arguments that Trump's anti-Muslim comments revealed unconstitutional bias.
- Opposing lawyers contend the current controversy differs significantly, involving people lawfully in the United States, unlike foreigners in Trump v. Hawaii seeking entry. They cite Trump's false claims that Haitian TPS holders were 'eating the dogs,' 'eating the cats.'
- The Supreme Court majority previously established that courts may not inquire into presidential motives, a rule dissenting justices criticized as permitting even corrupt intent. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned of the gravity of the president's statements.
- Since Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett succeeded Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020, the court has shifted rightward. Amid recent personal attacks on Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the judiciary weighs the president's aggressive anti-immigrant agenda.
