Pressure Grows for Supreme Court to End ‘Emergency’ Wins for Trump
Justices fast-tracked arguments on the president’s power to end protections for migrants fleeing violence after lower courts called out unexplained emergency rulings.
The US Supreme Court twice last year cleared the Trump administration to end protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants fleeing violence and instability. In the months that followed, current and former judges repeatedly called out the justices for failing to explain their reasoning.
The issue is before the high court again, and this time, there are signs the justices heard the criticism. They declined to immediately intervene in the government’s favor this week in two other cases, meaning Haitians and Syrians with legal status in the US remain shielded from deportation for now.
