BCLP makes national headlines with SCOTUS arguments

Partner Geoff Pipoly and Counsel Andy Tauber spoke to The New York Times, Law360 and Bloomberg Law about the ongoing litigation surrounding temporary protected status for more than 350,000 Haitians living in the United States. 

Andy spoke with The New York Times about an update to the case that involved a government researcher privately complaining that she was being ordered to manipulate evidence to support the move, according to internal emails. Andy said the emails showed her notice to be “pretextual backfill to justify a preordained decision.”

Geoff told Bloomberg Law that the stakes of this matter are “literally life and death,” and during the Supreme Court argument, Geoff told the justices that the Haiti TPS rescission was "a preordained result" that he said was racially motivated, highlighting that the separate humanitarian program for white South Africans, among other things, showed that animus toward non-white immigrants helped drive the administration's push to rescind TPS.
