The Department of Homeland Security asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to let it end its Temporary Protected Status designation for Haitian migrants, after the high court let it end the designation for Venezuelans last year.The request comes after the department asked the Supreme Court to let it end the designation for Syrian migrants last month, though the justices have not yet issued a ruling in the case.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer warned the high court in the latest filing that more cases are “waiting in the wings,” and asked them to settle the matter on ending the protected status on their regular docket, according to The Hill.
“Unless the Court resolves the merits of these challenges — issues that have now been ventilated in courts nationwide — this unsustainable cycle will repeat again and again, spawning more competing rulings and competing views of what to make of this Court’s interim orders,” he wrote. “This Court should break that cycle.”
The request also comes after federal judge Ana Reyes, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, indefinitely postponed the termination of the TPS status for Haitians last month, ruling the department failed to adequately justify its decision to end the protections.
Temporary Protected Status is given to people from countries that are unsafe because of a natural disaster, political instability or other dangerous conditions. The protections are granted for six, 12 or 18 months and allow the recipient to work in the United States and prevents them from being deported.
