June 25 (UPI) — The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s plan to end protection status for Haitian and Syrian asylum seekers in the United States.
The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines to allow the administration to remove Temporary Protected Status from about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito wrote the decision for the majority. He said that lower-court judges who ruled against the administration had overstepped their authority. He also said that choosing to remove TPS status from Haitians was not racial discrimination.
The law “expressly restricts” courts from reviewing decisions made by the Department of Homeland Security on whether to end or extend TPS protections, he wrote.
