Supreme Court weighs Trump-era bid to revoke migrant protections for Haitians and Syrians

April 30, 2026 • Google News World

The US Supreme Court is considering a petition from the Trump administration to rescind protections for migrants from Haiti and Syria. The request was made in 2019, during the Trump presidency.

In 2017, the Trump administration announced a travel ban targeting several countries, including Haiti and Syria. As part of this policy, the US government designated both countries as “countries subject to travel restrictions.” This designation led to the implementation of certain requirements for individuals from these countries seeking to enter or remain in the United States.

The Supreme Court’s consideration of this case is a response to a lawsuit filed by the State of Hawaii and other plaintiffs who challenged the Trump administration’s decision to rescind protections for migrants from Haiti and Syria. The court will review the petition and make a determination on whether to uphold or overturn the protections.

The case has been ongoing since 2019, with multiple appeals and petitions filed by various parties involved. The Supreme Court’s decision is expected to have significant implications for individuals seeking to enter or remain in the United States from Haiti and Syria.
