The United States Supreme Court has given the Trump administration the green light to begin deporting people from Syria and Haiti who are currently protected under the Temporary Protected Status program, commonly known as TPS.
In the majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that under the existing TPS law, the president holds the authority to terminate the program — and that this decision cannot be reviewed or blocked by the courts.
The ruling represents a major legal victory for the administration and a significant blow to TPS holders from those two countries who had hoped the courts would step in to protect them from removal.
