"Amici Members of Congress have a strong interest not only in preserving the benefits that Venezuela TPS affords their constituents’ communities but also in protecting the designation and termination process that is enshrined in the TPS statute and that guards against the type of arbitrary and political vacatur that took place here. Amici urge this Court to affirm the district court’s ruling."

"The Trump administration's decision to end TPS for Haitians is not just cruel—it is potentially deadly. Haiti remains in a state of complete collapse, overrun by gangs, wracked with violence, and under a state of emergency. The State Department itself warns Americans not to travel there due to widespread violent crime. Furthermore, the U.S. State Department has been in negotiations with multiple country partners to find ways to stem the continued collapse of the country. How can this administration claim it is safe to deport hundreds of thousands of people to a country they themselves have designated as too dangerous for American tourists and a threat to regional stability?"
