The U.S. Supreme Court is gearing up to effectively decide whether temporary status for hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals residing in the United States is actually temporary.
The high court held oral arguments on Wednesday in a pair of consolidated cases known as Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, which center around Trump’s revocation of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 6,000 Syrian and 350,000 Haitian nationals, respectively. Both groups of migrants are currently living in America under the TPS program, which may be used by the executive branch to offer temporary residency to foreign nationals from countries experiencing natural disasters, violent conflicts, and other “extraordinary and temporary conditions.”
