Supreme Court Clears Way for Trump to End Temporary Protected Status, Prompting Widespread Backlash

The Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status for about 350K Haitians and 6.1K Syrians, and implementation is now likely, threatening work permits and driving credentials.The court sharply limited judicial review of designation and termination decisions, a change the Department of Homeland Security said affirms its authority while critics warned it removes a vital legal check.Local leaders in Springfield, Ohio, and immigrant advocates report panic, noting that many Temporary Protected Status holders work in caregiving and long-term care and that schools and employers are bracing for disruptions.Human Rights Watch and a United Nations expert warned that returning people to Haiti would expose them to widespread gang violence, displacement and disease, while some lawmakers point to House bill H.R. 1689 as a possible congressional fix.
