Mamdani Condemns Supreme Court Ruling On Haitian, Syrian Deportations

experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters or other extraordinary conditions. Haiti has been designated for TPS since 2010 following its devastating earthquake, while Syria has held the designation since 2012 because of its civil war. The Supreme Court’s decision directly affects Haitian and Syrian beneficiaries but could signal the court’s willingness to uphold the Trump administration’s broader effort to end TPS protections for roughly 1.3 million immigrants from 17 countries.

The administration has already moved to terminate TPS for about one million people from 13 countries, including roughly 650,000 Venezuelans and 50,000 Hondurans. Decisions are still pending for approximately 200,000 Salvadorans and 100,000 Ukrainians whose protections expire in the coming months.
