The U.S. Supreme Court will review on Wednesday President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) quasi-amnesty awarded to Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden.
The amnesty covers roughly 330,000 Haitians who either sneaked across the border or were allowed to enter despite their “inadmissible” status.
Trump’s deputies say Congress’s law grants the President complete authority to award or end the TPS legal status, which grants work permits to migrants.
One potential complication is that swing-voting Justice Amy Coney Barrett has adopted two children from Haiti.
Pro-migration groups say the poor migrants need protection from their own failure to manage their society, which has declined further because Biden’s deputies awarded entry permits to many Haitian police, teachers, and healthcare workers. Most of Haiti’s skilled population is now absorbed into the U.S. and Canadian consumer economies.
