Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration may end temporary protected status for roughly 350,000 Haitian and 6,100 Syrian migrants.
Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration may end temporary protected status for roughly 350,000 Haitian and 6,100 Syrian migrants. The decision reversed lower‑court injunctions that had prevented termination of the program. The ruling also held that migrants must be physically present in the United States to apply for asylum. Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the statute governing TPS prohibits judicial review of the administration’s decision and said plaintiffs were unlikely to show racial discrimination. The three dissenting justices argued the removal was racially motivated. DHS general counsel James Percival said the outcome supports the rule of law. Jill Habig, chief executive of Public Rights Project, said the decision endangers hundreds of thousands of people and could separate families. The court’s separate decision on border asylum also allows the administration to deny asylum to migrants who have not entered the United States, reviving a 2016 policy previously ended by the Biden administration.
