U.S SUPREME COURT APPROVES TPS BAN -For Syria and Haiti immigrants
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s halt to temporary protected status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
The court in a 6-3 ruling overturned the previous decision of federal judges in New York and Washington, D.C. which halted the administration’s actions amounting to the terminal of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for reportedly 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians respectively.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the ruling, held that the court cannot review the administration’s decisions concerning TPS.
Alito further ruled that the Haitian TPS holders who had sued the government were unlikely to succeed in their argument that the administration’s actions were racially biased.
The court also upheld a second immigration-related decision which defended the U.S. government’s authority to turn away asylum seekers when U.S.-Mexico border crossings are deemed too overburdened by the officials
