Supreme Court OKs Trump's end to protections for Haitians & Syrians

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with ending temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Syria and Haiti. TPS was created by Congress in 1990 and is designated when conditions in a country do not allow for its nationals' safe return, and prevents their removal from the United States. Haiti was added to that list after an earthquake in 2010, allowing some of its citizens to live in the U.S. under the program. However, the Trump administration said it was terminating Haiti’s TPS, citing concerns that “Haitian gangs — such as those designated by the State Department as foreign terrorist organizations — pose a serious threat to U.S. interests.” ------------------------------------- Follow Scripps News on other platforms— Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on X: https://x.com/scrippsnews Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
