🗣️CASE UPDATE: Fanfan v. Noem
Check out this update from @ucla_cilp and @chrclla regarding this ongoing litigation impacting people re-detained during check-ins in the Southern District of California. To learn more, see the link in bio.
It was an honor for Muslim Advocates to join our co-counsel @irap@aclu_norcal@daylaborernetwork@ucla_cilp and our partners at @immigrants_actnow in D.C. as the Supreme Court heard oral argument in our case–Mullin v. Dahlia Doe–to defend TPS for Syria.
The Trump administration has attempted to systematically gut access to the TPS program for over one million people. The Supreme Court hearing held earlier this week is not just about Syria and Haiti–the future of the TPS program is at stake. Our legal team argued forcefully to uphold the rule of law and to challenge the largest de-documentation effort this country has ever seen.
For many of our communities, the stakes of this fight are nothing less than life and death. Whatever the Supreme Court decides, the collective fight continues in the streets and in the courts until every TPS holder has the protection and the dignity they deserve.

What role should litigation play in the immigrants’ rights movement in our present moment? Has the answer changed from years past, given a more lawless DHS, the Supreme Court’s new shadow docket practice, and growing hostility to class/mass actions throughout the federal courts?
Check out the NYT’s coverage of Mullin v. Dahlia Doe for a sense of the day and the impact this case will have on families with Temporary Protected Status across the country.

Fresh off arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court, CILP Faculty Co-Director Ahilan Arulanantham addressed Temporary Protected Status recipients gathered on the steps of SCOTUS yesterday. The case Mullin v. Dahlia Doe could reshape TPS protections far beyond Haiti and Syria. See link in bio for press release and check back for updates.
While there is still so much to share from today’s powerful gathering, we want to close the day with an update from the hearing.
The legal team indicated that a decision from the Supreme Court is not expected until June or July. Until then, the Haitian Bridge Alliance and our partners will continue working around the clock, demanding TPS protections for our Haitian and Syrian brothers and sisters.
We are deeply grateful not only to the incredible legal team, but also to the courageous plaintiffs who stood inside the Supreme Court today with strength and conviction.
From the African drums, conch shells, stomping, pounding, singing, crying, laughing, and joy we stirred outside of the court, we made clear that this movement will not be silenced. Thank you for being with us in this fight.
