Haitians 'can't stay here,' DHS says after Supreme Court ruling
USA Today • • general
Key Points:
- The Supreme Court ruled that President Trump can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the U.S., removing their legal right to live and work in the country.
- The Trump administration is encouraging Haitians and Syrians to leave voluntarily by offering a $2,600 cash bonus and a taxpayer-funded plane ticket, aiming to avoid costly deportations.
- Immigration rights groups warn that ending TPS will force many families into poverty and chaos, as many have lived in the U.S. for nearly two decades and have U.S.-born children.
- The ruling is part of a broader immigration enforcement effort by the Trump administration, which has faced accusations of racial motivations for targeting Haitians and other groups.
- The State Department continues to consider Haiti and Syria unsafe for return, but the Supreme Court upheld the administration's legal authority to end TPS protections despite these conditions.
