Patti Saris

The Trump administration criticizes U.S. District Judge Patti Saris for blocking its plan to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for South Sudanese nationals, citing a Supreme Court decision limiting judicial review of such actions. The Supreme Court's June ruling in Mullin v. Doe barred courts from reviewing Administrative Procedure Act challenges to TPS decisions, though constitutional claims remain viable. Saris granted an administrative stay to preserve TPS protections while considering plaintiffs' motions, which critics argue defies the Supreme Court's jurisdictional constraints.

The Supreme Court's June ruling in Mullin v. Doe barred courts from reviewing administrative decisions on TPS, but Saris's order preserves TPS protections temporarily while procedural motions are considered.
