Preview of Supreme Court Oral Arguments on Lifting of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians on April 29

Amy Howe for SCOTUSBlog offers a preview of the arguments. as she describes the case, "the Supreme Court will consider a dispute in Mullin v. Doe over the Trump administration’s efforts to significantly scale back a program that allows foreign citizens to stay in the United States when the U.S. government believes that it is not safe for them to go home."

The Trump administration has sought to end the designation of several countries so that its citizens can be granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS). "In two orders on its interim docket in May and October, the Supreme Court cleared the way for [Department of Homeland Security (DHS)] to strip Venezuelan citizens of" TPS. On April 29, the justices will hear oral argument on whether DHS can do the same for Haitians and Syrians.
