The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-backs-pregnancy-center-in-donor-subpoena-fight\/\" title=\"Supreme Court backs pregnancy center in donor subpoena fight\">justices appeared largely skeptical<\/a> of arguments that would allow courts to block the process on procedural grounds, which could effectively bypass a federal law that generally bars judicial review of the Homeland Security secretary\u2019s TPS revocation decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers for the affected individuals argued that,although the substantive decision may be insulated,courts should be able to review whether required procedures were followed-such as proper consultation with other authorities and compliance with mandatory public notice steps. Several justices worried this theory would create a loophole that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >lets courts routinely find<\/a> and act on alleged procedural missteps.Others also questioned the government\u2019s position that no part of the process is reviewable at all,raising hypotheticals about potentially skipping notice requirements or using arbitrary methods to decide which countries lose TPS.<\/p>\n<p>The decision in thes cases is expected to have broad implications beyond Haiti and Syria, affecting other countries whose TPS designations Trump is seeking to end. These arguments were also the last scheduled oral arguments of the Supreme court\u2019s current term,with opinions expected over the next several weeks.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"203\">Supreme Court<\/a> appeared ready to give the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"339\">Trump administration<\/a> considerable deference in its decision to end Temporary Protected Status for people from various countries, likely spelling doom for lawsuits hoping to block the administration\u2019s purge of TPS designations.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-clashes-over-bid-to-execute-boston-marathon-bomber\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Clashes Over Bid To Execute Boston Marathon Bomber\">justices heard arguments<\/a> in the consolidated cases <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4545655\/trump-tps-immigration-crackdown-faces-supreme-court-test\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4545655\/trump-tps-immigration-crackdown-faces-supreme-court-test\/\"><em>Mullin v.

John Sauer warned. He appeared worried that Arulanantham\u2019s theory would make it always \u201cpossible to pick procedural faults\u201d with a determination that Congress said should be beyond the scope of courts.<\/p>\n<p>Other justices appeared skeptical of the need to allow significant review of the process if it is simply a \u201cbox-checking exercise,\u201d as Justice Amy Coney Barrett phrased it in her question to Arulanantham. She questioned the lawyer while noting the very low standard for how much and what type of consultation by other agencies is necessary before a secretary decides to revoke TPS.<\/p>\n<p>Geoffrey Pipoly, the lawyer for Moit, who is going after Trump\u2019s bid to end TPS for Haiti, was questioned by Justice Neil Gorsuch over how the process of a secretary\u2019s determination can be challenged if it is properly filed in the Federal Register as outlined in immigration law. Gorsuch specifically asked about how a lower federal court postponing the end of TPS for Haiti is not actually just a judicial review of the DHS secretary\u2019s determination, which federal law prohibits.<\/p>\n<p>While the justices seemed skeptical about opening up judicial review for the process of ending TPS, several of the justices did appear to take issue with the Justice Department\u2019s arguments that no part of the process could ever be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Sonia Sotomayor asked a hypothetical question about whether the Homeland Security secretary could post on X that he was ending TPS for Haiti effective tomorrow, instead of giving a 60-day notice and posting it in the Federal Register as required by the Immigration and Nationality Act, and whether that would be reviewable by a court. Sauer responded it would not, fueling more questions and skepticism from mostly the liberal justices.<\/p>\n<p>Sauer was also grilled on whether a court could question if the Homeland Security secretary properly consulted different agencies, in accordance with the INA. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked if the DHS secretary could ask a Ouija board or draw names out of a hat to determine if TPS would be revoked or extended for a country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had a hypothetical to pull out a\u00a0Ouija board,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cThe secretary says, \u2018You know how I\u2019m going to figure this out? I\u2019m going to \u2013 another example \u2013 put Syria in a hat and Haiti in a hat on a slip of paper and all the countries, and I\u2019ll pull out the ones that get TPS.\u2019 That\u2019s not following the statutory steps. She\u2019s made a determination to do that and your view would be that no judicial review of that claim.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sauer responded by cautioning that lower court judges would abuse any power the Supreme Court grants them to hold up TPS determinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn any exception that the court would craft here would be something that a truck could be driven through,\u201d Sauer said in response, arguing exceptions would blow a massive hole through the judicial review bar in the INA. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what we see in the lower courts and that\u2019s what we see in the briefing in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4545655\/trump-tps-immigration-crackdown-faces-supreme-court-test\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/4545655\/trump-tps-immigration-crackdown-faces-supreme-court-test\/\">TRUMP\u2019S TPS IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN FACES SUPREME COURT TEST<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s arguments marked the final scheduled oral arguments for the Supreme Court\u2019s current term.
