“In Mullin v. Doe, a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court majority upheld the president’s decision to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians.”
Attributed to The Federalist (article summarizing Mullin v. Doe)
The article states the Supreme Court issued a 6-3 conservative-majority ruling in Mullin v. Doe that upheld the Trump administration’s rescission of TPS for Haitians and Syrians.
What the proof shows
The Supreme Court did rule 6–3 and dissolved lower-court stays so the administration’s Federal Register terminations for Haiti and Syria could take effect. But the Court’s holding was statutory and procedural — it concluded 8 U.S.C. §1254a(b)(5)(A) bars judicial review of non‑constitutional TPS claims and therefore respondents were not entitled to interim relief — not a definitive merits decision that the terminations were lawful on all grounds. The opinion left constitutional questions (equal protection) unresolved on the merits and the dissent argued courts could review whether mandatory procedural steps were followed.
Corrected version
The Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision in Mullin v. Doe (June 25, 2026), held that the TPS statute bars judicial review of non‑constitutional challenges and dissolved lower-court stays — allowing the administration’s Federal Register terminations for Haiti and Syria to take effect — but did not finally decide on the ultimate legality of those terminations on the merits.
