Key Day: Trump’s Attempt to End TPS for Haitians and Syrians Reaches Supreme Court
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
WASHINGTON — Addressing one of the most contentious aspects of the Trump administration's policies, the Supreme Court will discuss this Wednesday its attempt to eliminate legal protections for thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants in the United States. If the government wins the case, it will be able to proceed with its plan to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. For now, the protections remain in place. The Trump administration has also sought to revoke TPS for immigrants from other countries, including El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Afghanistan. The Supreme Court's decision could impact pending lower court cases involving countries such as Somalia, Myanmar, and Ethiopia.
