The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 29 on the Trump administration’s efforts to terminate temporary protected status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian nationals.

These cases, Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, pertain to Haiti and Syria, but the justices’ decisions will likely have implications for more than 1 million people from 17 countries currently in the United States under the TPS program.

One of the main issues surrounding the case is how far courts can go in reviewing the Trump administration’s decisions on which nationals from which countries qualify for protection.
