Supreme Court allows Trump administration to end legal protections for Haitians, Syrians
The ruling lets the administration end protections for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians as part of Trump’s immigration crackdown.
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to lift lower court injunctions, allowing President Donald Trump to end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the United States.
- Since Trump returned to office in 2025, the Department of Homeland Security moved to end protections for immigrants from the vast majority of 17 countries, arguing the law bars judicial review of any determination regarding TPS.
- Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the TPS statute explicitly prevents judges from intervening in executive branch management, while Justice Elena Kagan issued a sharp dissent arguing the required agency consultations never truly happened.
- Haitians alleged the decision was driven by racial bias, but the Supreme Court rejected the equal protection claim, finding the administration's actions rested on policy views that could rest on race-neutral justifications.
- With the Supreme Court ruling, the cases are remanded to lower courts and protections dissolved, as the administration prepares to trigger renewal deadlines for other countries, including Ukraine, in the coming months.
