In Mullin v. Doe, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the president may terminate Temporary Protected Status without judicial review, with Justice Samuel Alito writing for the conservative majority.
The court held that the statute governing Temporary Protected Status grants the president unreviewable authority to end the protections, a finding that affects more than one million people.
Temporary Protected Status shields nationals of designated countries from deportation and allows them to work legally in the United States during periods of conflict or disaster. By foreclosing judicial review of termination decisions, the ruling narrows the legal avenues available to challenge the removal of those protections.
The decision split the court along ideological lines and is expected to have broad consequences for immigration policy and for the affected communities.
