The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday it will hear arguments over the legality of a move by Donald Trump's administration to revoke temporary legal protections for more than 350,000 Haitians and about 6,100 Syrians living in the United States, part of the Republican president's mass deportation agenda.

The justices kept in place two judicial orders that have blocked the administration's move to end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitian and Syrian nationals while legal challenges to the policies proceed.

The cases will be argued next month.
