The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review the Trump administration’s authority to end temporary immigration protections for migrants from countries facing extraordinary conditions, taking up cases involving Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations for Haiti and Syria, The Hill reports. The justices left in place lower court rulings that block the administration from terminating the protections while the case proceeds, with oral arguments expected the week of April 27 and a decision likely by summer. Created by Congress in 1990, TPS allows foreign nationals to remain in the United States and obtain work authorization when conditions such as armed conflict or natural disasters make it unsafe to return home.
