From the Associated Press: The Supreme Court will hear arguments over the Trump administration’s push to end legal protections for people fleeing war and natural disaster from countries around the world, including Haiti and Syria.
The court declined, though, to immediately lift the protections for hundreds of thousands of people Monday, allowing them to live and work in the U.S. legally amid the administration’s wider crackdown on immigration.
The case will be heard in April, a fast schedule for the nation’s highest court, with a decision expected weeks or months later.
The conservative-majority court has sided with the Trump administration on the issue before and allowed the end of temporary legal status for a total of 600,000 people from Venezuela while lawsuits play out, exposing them to potential deportation. The court did not explain its legal reasoning, as is common on its emergency docket.
After the Trump administration moved to end temporary protected status for 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,000 people from Syria, lower courts blocked the move.
Therefore, the Trump administration filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court, asking the court to not only lift those decisions, but to hear arguments and issue a broad ruling that would block lower courts from intervening every time Homeland Security decides to end protections.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration had literally rolled out the red carpet, and posted an advertisement for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to come to the United States and seek asylum:
#ICYMI: DHS has put in place a process that allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans & Venezuelans a legal path to come to the U.S. & a way for asylum seekers to find relief. Sponsors can now apply here: https://t.co/3Zoti9gwAe pic.twitter.com/02lunlOpMf
