Supreme Court leans in favor of Trump's bid to end protections for Syrian, Haitian migrants

The justices appeared split on whether procedural flaws and alleged racial bias made the terminations unlawful, with a ruling expected by July.

  • On Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments on President Donald Trump's plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, with the conservative majority signaling potential support for the administration's authority.
  • Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued the administration's decisions are not reviewable in court, asserting federal law "bars judicial review of both the secretary's ultimate decision whether to designate, extend or terminate" TPS designations.
  • Despite the administration's safety claims, the State Department advises Americans "do not travel" to Haiti or Syria, while attorneys for the migrants argue the revocation was motivated by racial animus, citing past comments from Trump and former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
  • Justice Sonia Sotomayor probed whether discriminatory purpose played a role in the policy shift, while Justice Neil Gorsuch expressed skepticism about whether courts can review Homeland Security decisions on TPS.
  • Expected before the end of June, the Court's ruling could affect more than 1.3 million immigrants from 17 countries protected under TPS, potentially reshaping the balance between executive authority and judicial oversight in immigration policy.
