Attorneys for Haitian immigrants are calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out a case currently before the justices, arguing that newly surfaced evidence changes the picture significantly.
At the heart of the dispute is the Trump administration’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status — a program that shields certain foreign nationals from deportation — for Haitians living in the United States.
The lawyers contend that the Supreme Court does not have access to the full record showing how the administration arrived at that decision. Without that complete record, they argue, the court should not move forward with the case.
The Supreme Court has been examining the revocation of Temporary Protected Status for both Haitian and Syrian migrants. Members of the National TPS Alliance have rallied outside the court in Washington, D.C., drawing attention to the issue.
The case raises significant questions about the legal process behind removing protections for immigrant communities who have been living and working in the United States under that status.
