The future of the legal status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. will face a test at Supreme Court oral arguments Wednesday, as the Trump administration seeks to unilaterally strip deportation protections from migrants in the face of some congressional opposition.
The cases set for arguments Wednesday will determine the future of the legal status known as Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians who sought refuge amid turmoil in their home countries.
Since starting his second term, Trump has sought to revoke TPS from immigrants from more than a dozen countries, which have been challenged in the courts. The Supreme Court, in emergency orders in two prior challenges, already has allowed the administration to strip the protections for Venezuelans.
