Supreme Court Takes Temporary Protected Status Case Appeal

The Supreme Court has just accepted an appeal from the Trump administration in an immigration case — one that may result in the Court barring lower federal court judges from interfering in the president’s termination of “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) for aliens from various countries, many of whom seem to have abused the temporary status to take up permanent residence in the United States.

The Court agreed to hear the cases, Noem v. Doe and Trump v. Miot, on March 16 and set up an accelerated schedule of oral arguments during the second week of April. The expedited process may be a sign of the Court’s impatience with lower court judges who are ignoring clear, unambiguous federal law, as well as the Supreme Court’s own prior orders.
