Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Ending Temporary Protected Status from New York Legal Assistance Group

New York, NY-Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 opinion that President Trump could unilaterally end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants whose countries face natural disaster, war, famine, and economic instability. For nearly two decades, the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) has served hundreds of Haitian TPS recipients.
Lisa Rivera, CEO & President of the New York Legal Assistance Group responded:
"America will neither be greater nor safer by removing hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants from the lives that they built here, leaving behind family and children, and forcing them to return to unstable countries wrecked by war and natural disasters. The Supreme Court gutting Temporary Protected Status is devastating for thousands of families whose economic and cultural contributions make this city richer. This decision only enables Trump's cruel mass deportation policies, rather than enabling our neighborhoods and communities to thrive."
