Case centers on whether recipients of Temporary Protected Status privileges are deemed to have been 'admitted' to
The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments Monday in a potential landmark immigration case that could dramatically alter the fortunes of thousands currently living in the U.S. after fleeing countries with Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
The U.S. designates certain countries for TPS if they are deemed dangerous due to conditions such as earthquakes, hurricanes, civil war or other armed conflict or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions." People from such countries who are already in the U.S. after entering illegally can receive privileges, such as employment and travel authorization, and are protected from deportation.
Circuit courts have been split over whether those who entered the U.S. illegally but now have TPS protection can apply for green cards without first leaving the U.S. and applying to come back. In the case before the court on Monday, Sanchez v. Mayorkas, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals had ruled against green card applicants Jose Santos Sanchez and Sonia Gonzalez, reversing a lower court decision.
A key issue is whether the granting of TPS protection constitutes "admission" to the U.S. for the purposes of another statute, which allows for the adjustment of status of someone if they have been "inspected and admitted or paroled" into the U.S.
"[A] grant of TPS cannot be an ‘admission’ because § 1254a requires an alien to be present in the United States to be eligible for TPS," the Third Circuit said, referring to the statute covering TPS. "Consistent with that fact, we have recognized that TPS is not ‘a program of entry for an alien.’"

Well said, FRiend!
I consider Gorsuch to be to the LEFT of Roberts, and there’s a slight chance Kavanaugh is as well.
I think you are going to be surprised and find that Gorsuch ruling with Alito and Thomas, Kavanaugh wasn’t worth the stinking fight to put him there and Amy hasn’t looked promising either!!
Do we need to guess how the Supreme Clowns will rule on this?
Gorsuch has already voted to Robert’s left on at least three notable cases, including one that was a 5-4 victory for the Left because Roberts voted with the GOP bloc but Gorsuch joined the commies. And on another case, it was a 5-4 victory for conservatives only because Ruth Bader Ginsburg voted with the GOP judges, so Gorsuch was more liberal than Roberts AND Ruthie on that particular case.
No review of the 2020 election...and amnesty for 30 million wetbacks. Just goes to prove my claim that 98% of American lawyers are psychopaths.
