Mullin v. Doe: Migrant Temporary Protected Status

The cases stem from the decisions by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians, after determining their home countries no longer met the criteria for the program. Challengers argue that Noem's required interagency consultations were insufficient and did not comply with the statute, and that the administration's actions raise equal protection concerns; the government counters that Congress barred judicial review of TPS decisions entirely. The outcome will determine both the fate of those migrants and the extent to which courts can scrutinize immigration decisions made by the executive branch.
