Since inauguration, this Administration has weaponized immigration policies to relentlessly target immigrants of color. One highlight of Muslim Advocates’ response has been our successful litigation to defend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants from particularly unstable and unsafe parts of the world. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear arguments related to the Administration’s efforts to strip TPS from vulnerable refugees, including in the case Muslim Advocates brought, alongside our partners at the International Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP) and Van Der Hout LLP, on behalf of Syrian nationals.

TPS is a humanitarian provision in our immigration code; it provides security to those facing peril in home countries wracked by war and disaster.  Muslim Advocates has been at the forefront of the fight to protect thousands of refugees—from Syria to Somalia—who have relied on TPS to build their lives in the United States.  We intend to do everything we can to ensure our communities have every opportunity to remain here safely— as the law intended.
