Migrants blame Kristi Noem in appeal to Supreme Court
Summary
Migrants from several countries are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the ending of their temporary protected status (TPS), which prevents deportation due to danger in their home countries. The court will hear cases challenging the way former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended TPS for some groups, focusing on whether the government followed proper review procedures.Key Facts

- The law says TPS decisions cannot be challenged in court, but migrants argue the government did not properly review conditions before ending protections.
- Court filings suggest limited review was done by Noem’s team before terminating TPS.
- About 1.3 million people in the U.S. have TPS.
- The Trump administration ended TPS for 11 groups; others will be reviewed later in President Trump’s second term.
- Haitian TPS holders claim their protections were ended due to racial bias linked to actions from when President Trump was a candidate.
