President Donald Trump asked the US Supreme Court to let his administration scrap a legal shield that protects 350,000 Haitians from deportation.

The request aims to end the Haitians’ so-called Temporary Protected Status, calling on the justices to lift a lower court order that is blocking the cancellation for the time being.
