U.S. Supreme Court backs Trump on deportation of over 500,000 immigrants

Washington, D.C.- More than 532,000 immigrants from Haiti, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela face potential deportation after the U.S. Supreme Court authorized former President Donald Trump to revoke their Temporary Protected Status (TPS)—a program introduced under the Biden administration to allow these individuals to live and work legally in the U.S.

The court’s decision, made with a 7-2 majority, came at the request of the Department of Homeland Security, enabling Trump to reinstate his stricter immigration policies. Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, warning of the severe consequences for hundreds of thousands of lives.

This ruling follows a similar Supreme Court decision just ten days earlier, allowing the removal of TPS for 350,000 Venezuelan migrants, signaling a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy under potential renewed Trump leadership.
