Pressure mounts on Supreme Court to hear Trump bids to end temporary immigration protections
Every delay has consequences.
The Trump administration faced another loss this week in its bid to end temporary protected status for people from various countries, despite the Supreme Court allowing the Trump administration to rescind the status twice. The lower-court losses are putting pressure on the justices to hear a TPS case as petitions to the high court pile up.
The latest adverse ruling for the Trump administration came Wednesday when the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit declined to rehear a decision from a three-judge panel finding the administration’s revocation of TPS for Venezuela was unlawful. The ruling included a sharp dissent from U.S. Circuit Judge Patrick Bumatay, an appointee of President Donald Trump, in which he claimed the panel had “made itself the Platonic Guardian of our immigration laws rather than neutral interpreters of the law,” and ignored the Supreme Court’s previous orders saying the federal government is entitled to rescind the temporary deportation protections for Venezuelans.
“The panel has ignored strong hints from the Supreme Court that we’ve gotten this wrong,” Bumatay said, in a dissent joined by eight other circuit judges on the 9th Circuit. “Twice now, the Supreme Court has intervened and effectively reversed the Ninth Circuit in this very case by granting stays that this court had denied.
“The panel should have seen the writing on the wall. Instead, it turned a blind eye.”
The ruling came in a case in which the Supreme Court has twice halted a lower court’s attempt to block the Trump administration from ending TPS for Venezuela. However, neither time did the justices elaborate on their rationale for allowing TPS to be revoked in the interim. The lack of explanation has left the door open for lower courts to continue blocking the termination of TPS for other countries without technically running afoul of any specific guidance from the high court.
In a concurring opinion agreeing to allow the block of the TPS termination to stand, U.S. Circuit Judge Kim McLane Wardlaw, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, noted that the issue appears poised to be argued before the Supreme Court in the near future.
“The exceptionally important issues in this case will likely be litigated at the Supreme Court in the coming months,” she wrote.
The Justice Department can appeal the 9th Circuit’s ruling to the Supreme Court on its merits docket, adding to the pair of petitions to let Trump end TPS for Haiti and Syria that are already on …
