In the fourth and final decision issued today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe, a case concerning whether the Administration may terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations. 

In a majority opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the Court held that the challengers—TPS beneficiaries from Syria and Haiti—were not entitled to interim relief blocking the termination of their TPS designations. 

The Court concluded that the TPS statute limits judicial review of non-constitutional claims and prevents courts from second-guessing the agency’s TPS termination decisions on those grounds. 

Justice Thomas filed a concurring opinion. Justice Kagan filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson.

The decision represents a significant victory for the government concerning TPS terminations and the scope of judicial review in immigration matters.
