The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to let it go ahead with ending legal protections for migrants from Syria. This was the latest emergency appeal to the highest court in the country.

The Department of Justice wants the court to overturn a New York judge’s decision that stopped the Department of Homeland Security from ending temporary protected status for Syrians while lawsuits are going on.

The government is also asking for a wider ruling that could affect other cases about protecting people from other countries as the administration tries to crack down on immigration.

According to court records, about 6,100 people from Syria have temporary legal status after leaving their homes because of armed conflict.
