In a significant ruling, the Supreme Court decided six to three that the Trump administration has the authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian migrants. Meanwhile, a memo from the Biden White House suggests plans to potentially expand TPS to over three million noncitizens, including an estimated one and a half million Guatemalans and hundreds of thousands from other countries. As work permits for many Haitians on TPS are set to expire soon, a federal appeals court has intervened, blocking the revocation of TPS and extending the expiration date until at least July 27.
