The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in its effort to strip humanitarian deportation protections from more than 350,000 Haitians living in the United States. According to Reuters, the U.S. Justice Department filed an emergency request asking the court to lift a judge's decision that blocked the administration's move to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians. The lower court had found that the administration's action toward the Haitians likely was motivated in part by "racial animus." The administration has sought to end TPS for several countries, arguing the program was intended to provide temporary relief.
