Haitian immigrants are urging the Supreme Court to reconsider a case, presenting new evidence they believe undermines the previous ruling. Their legal team argues that the court did not have a full picture of the Trump administration's decision-making process when it ended Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians in the United States.

They are seeking to have the termination of TPS overturned, arguing that the court's initial review was based on an incomplete record. The presentation of new evidence aims to bolster their claim that the decision was arbitrary and not based on a thorough assessment.

The Supreme Court's involvement signifies the high stakes of this legal battle for thousands of Haitian nationals.
