The Supreme Court will hear arguments later this month on the Trump administration’s quest to end humanitarian immigration protections for Haitians and Syrians, in a case that could affect immigrants from many countries. Ahead of the hearing, lawyers challenging the administration alerted the justices to evidence they say undercuts the government’s position.
On Thursday, they filed a letter regarding evidence produced by the government in discovery, namely three documents that, the plaintiffs wrote to the high court, “undercut the Government’s stated rationale for the termination” of the humanitarian relief at issue, called Temporary Protected Status.
The first document is a September 2025 email in which a researcher at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services wrote that her supervisor was “forcing” her “to include a section” in a Haiti report “on how TPS is a pull factor” for unlawful migration. The researcher wrote that she would do so if they “had any empirical evidence to support that claim,” but they didn’t. She wrote that she was “obeying” her supervisor’s “command” but that she wanted to “go on record” that she was “concerned” about “making such claims without empirical support.”
Another document is an email sent by the same USCIS researcher the following month that said there were no known or suspected terrorist “hits for Haiti,” and said that claim was removed from their analysis because it didn’t support “the termination argument.”. A third document referenced in the letter is an email from a different USCIS employee that said “DHS data” showed that “0.06%” of the Haiti TPS population had “public safety records” and that none were associated with known or suspected terrorist records.

Plus Haitians are well know terrorists AND are known to eat cats and dogs.
