The U.S. Supreme Court examines on Wednesday moves by President Donald Trump’s administration to strip humanitarian protections from hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants, part of his signature immigration crackdown.
The justices will hear arguments in the administration’s appeals of rulings by federal judges in New York and Washington, D.C., halting its actions to terminate Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, previously provided by the U.S. government to more than 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,100 from Syria.
The State Department currently warns against traveling to either Haiti or Syria, citing widespread violence, crime, terrorism and kidnapping.
The legal dispute presents a test of Trump’s executive power and the Supreme Court’s traditional deference to presidents on matters of immigration, national security and foreign policy.
The court last year let the administration end TPS for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
