Sanchez argument has started & counsel for TPS recipients is up. If you're listening there's a lot of talk about what the TPS statute says & if it meant to allow TPS recipients to adjust status based on certain words. It's important to remember what's at stake in human terms. /1

This issue has divided the courts of appeal below. The 3rd, 5th & 11th Circuits have determined that TPS recipients who originally entered w/o inspection cannot adjust status, while the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the 6th, 8th & 9th Circuits have held to the contrary. /3
