Overview

• The Trump administration has formally requested the Supreme Court to overturn lower court injunctions preventing the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and humanitarian parole for over 500,000 immigrants from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
• Federal judges Indira Talwani and Edward Chen previously blocked efforts to revoke these protections, citing procedural flaws and potential harm to affected individuals and communities.
• Solicitor General John Sauer contends that the rulings undermine the executive branch's authority and hinder the administration's immigration enforcement objectives.
• The Supreme Court has already received eight emergency immigration-related appeals from the administration this year, raising concerns about the strain on its docket.
• In a related case, the administration is invoking the state secrets privilege to avoid judicial scrutiny over the mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador.
