Former President Donald Trump is seeking Supreme Court intervention to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for more than half a million migrants. The request asks the high court to overturn lower court decisions that have prevented the government from ending the program for people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The Department of Homeland Security, under then-Secretary Kristi Noem, initially announced plans to revoke TPS for these countries, citing improved conditions in their home nations. However, legal challenges argued that ending TPS would cause significant hardship and that the decision was politically motivated.
The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case could have far-reaching implications for immigration policy and the future of hundreds of thousands of people currently living and working in the U.S. under TPS. The Biden administration could choose to reverse course on the policy if the Supreme Court allows it.
Trump Asks Supreme Court to End Migrant Protections
Former President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow the end of protections for over 530,000 migrants. The move challenges lower court rulings that have blocked the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS). These protections currently allow migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to live and work legally in the United States.
