Supreme Court Lets US End Protected Status for Haitians, Syrians

The court, on a 6-3 vote on ideological lines, ruled in favor of the administration, which asked to continue with its plan to strip Temporary Protected Status from about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.

The justices blocked a lawsuit challenging the policy on jurisdictional grounds, effectively clearing the way for the Department of Homeland Security to strip legal status and work authorization from roughly 350,000 people while the broader legal fight continues.

Noem went on a tear of terminations starting last year and attempted to end protections for 13 of 17 countries who had received the designation.

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to end humanitarian protections that have permitted hundreds of thousands of people from Haiti and Syria to live and work legally in the United States.
