Lawyers representing the US government argued the California federal court, the US District Court for the Northern District of California, had undermined "the Executive Branch's inherent powers as to immigration and foreign affairs," when it stopped the administration from ending protections and work permits in April.Ahilan Arulanantham, who represents TPS holders in the case, told the BBC he believed this to be "the largest single action stripping any group of non-citizens of immigration status in modern US history".

"That the Supreme Court authorized this action in a two-paragraph order with no reasoning is truly shocking," Mr Arulanantham said. "The humanitarian and economic impact of the Court's decision will be felt immediately, and will reverberate for generations."Because it was an emergency appeal, justices on the Supreme Court did not provide a reasoning for the ruling.The court's order only noted one judge's dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Half a million people face starvation in the coming months, an assessment by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) has said.A UN World Food Programme (WFP) official said the UN and its partners had over 140,000 tonnes of food - about 6,000 lorry loads and enough to feed the entire population for two months - in position at aid corridors and ready to be brought into Gaza at scale.
