The Supreme Court will hear a case about the Trump administration's plan to end temporary legal protection for migrants from Haiti and Syria. If the court agrees, up to 1.3 million people from 17 countries could lose this protection and face deportation.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Wednesday morning about ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian migrants.
TPS is a legal program that protects people from countries experiencing war or natural disasters from being deported.
The Trump administration wants to end TPS for these groups, challenging lower court rulings that blocked this move.
If the Supreme Court sides with the government, protections could be removed for up to 1.3 million people from 17 countries.
The court has previously allowed the end of TPS for Venezuelan migrants, though some lawsuits on that decision are still ongoing.
The case is part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to enforce stricter immigration policies.
The Supreme Court arguments start at 10 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Decisions from this case could affect the future status of many migrants currently protected under TPS.
