In June, the US Supreme Court issued a ruling in Mullin v. Doe concerning the legality of terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations. The Court found that the TPS statute bars judicial review of the administration's non-constitutional decisions to end these designations.
In its decision, the Court also determined that the equal protection challenge brought by the plaintiffs was unlikely to succeed. Following this ruling, the Supreme Court reversed the lower courts' decisions and remanded the case.
