March 11 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to intervene in its effort to strip humanitarian deportation protections from more than 350,000 Haitians living in the United States despite persistent violence in Haiti that has displaced more than a million people.
The Justice Department in an emergency request asked the court to lift a judge's decision that blocked the administration's move to end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitians. The judge found that the administration's action toward the Haitians likely was motivated in part by "racial animus."
