Mullin defends Haiti TPS decision
The ruling affects about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians and clears the way for deportations unless they have another legal status.
- On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration has authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Haitians and around 6,000 Syrians, ending their deportation protections.
- Congress created TPS in 1990 to prevent deportations from countries facing disasters or violence. Haiti held the designation since the devastating 2010 earthquake, but the Trump administration argues the program was always meant to be temporary.
- Hundreds of thousands now face deportation, including many working in nursing and caregiving roles. "It's been like a plunge into icy water," one immigrant said, describing fear sweeping through communities across the United States.
- Employers face significant labor disruptions, with experts warning the policy could "decimate certain industries." Cambridge immigration attorney Leslie Ditrani cautioned that businesses struggle to avoid discrimination while ensuring they "run afoul of the law."
- The ruling takes effect July 27 and could allow the administration to unwind protections for 1.3 million people from 17 countries. Legal experts note the Court left open the possibility of narrower constitutional challenges.
