Supreme Court hands Trump key immigration wins
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered mixed but significant immigration rulings. In a 6-3 vote, it struck down President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship, with conservative justices Roberts and Barrett joining liberals to uphold the 14th Amendment. However, the court also ruled 6-3 that the administration could terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 350,000 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians, blocking judicial review of the decision. This sets the stage for mass deportations to countries deemed unsafe by the State Department. The TPS ruling sparked panic in immigrant communities, with many preparing to sell homes and arrange child custody. Critics, including Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, warned of economic harm, while White House aide Stephen Miller defended the policy.

The Supreme Court ruled in June 2026 that Donald Trump can end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 330,000 Haitians nationwide, prompting Stephen Miller to call for their removal. The ruling opens the door for large-scale ICE raids in Springfield, Ohio, a Trump-supporting town where 12,000-15,000 Haitians live.

The article analyzes the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe, which upheld the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over a million noncitizens, primarily from Haiti and Syria. The ruling, authored by Justice Alito, bars federal courts from reviewing statutory claims challenging the termination process, effectively removing judicial oversight of executive compliance with the 1990 TPS statute. Additionally, the Court held that racist statements by the President and subordinates are insufficient to prove racial animus under the Arlington Heights test. The decision impacts approximately 350,000 Haitian and 6,000 Syrian TPS recipients, with broader implications for pending challenges affecting 600,000 more from Venezuela, Afghanistan, and South Sudan. The author, an immigration expert, criticizes the ruling for whitewashing racialized statements and undermining legal protections for lawfully present noncitizens.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. Doe, effectively barring federal courts from reviewing challenges to the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 1.3 million noncitizens, including Haitians and Syrians. The decision, authored by Justice Samuel Alito, removes judicial oversight of statutory compliance in TPS decisions and finds that racialized statements by the President are insufficient to prove discriminatory motivation under the Arlington Heights test. The ruling affects approximately 356,000 Haitian and Syrian TPS recipients directly, with broader implications for pending challenges involving Venezuela, Afghanistan, and South Sudan (600,000 additional recipients). The plaintiffs argued that proper procedures were not followed and that terminations were racially motivated, but the Court held that TPS statute precludes review of procedural and substantive requirements, though constitutional equal protection claims remain technically allowed.

The first ruling allows termination of TPS for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, affecting an estimated 1.3 million immigrants from 17 countries. Alito dismissed arguments that Trump's racially derogatory statements tainted the decision, an omission criticized by liberal Justice Elena Kagan in her dissent.

TheWeek feedSupreme Court gives Trump two major wins on immigration policy

Liberal Justice Elena Kagan dissented, noting the majority omitted Trump's offensive comments, including referring to Haitians as coming from a "shithole" country. The second ruling grants Trump unreviewable power to bar migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border to seek asylum. The Court is expected to rule next week on another signature Trump immigration policy: ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
TheWeek feedSupreme Court Ruling Allows Deportation of 350,000 TPS Holders from Haiti and Syria
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe, clearing the way for the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 350,000 Haitian and Syrian nationals. The Court held that Congress had barred judicial review of the Secretary of Homeland Security's determination to revoke TPS designations. TPS recipients challenged the decision on procedural and racial discrimination grounds, arguing the administration failed to properly consult other agencies. The Obama administration originally granted TPS to Haiti after its 2010 earthquake and to Syria due to its civil war. The article frames the ruling as enabling racially motivated immigration enforcement and notes broader Trump administration efforts to restrict immigration and deport non-white individuals.
The New RepublicSupreme Court Backs Trump Administration's Termination of TPS for Haiti and Syria
The Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe, paving the way for the Trump administration to deport over 350,000 Haitian and Syrian nationals previously protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The ruling addressed two issues: whether Congress barred judicial review of the Homeland Security Secretary's TPS revocation decision, and whether the Haiti revocation was racially discriminatory. The Court held that Congress had stripped courts of jurisdiction to review the substantive TPS determination itself. Plaintiffs had argued the revocation process violated consultation requirements, but the Court sided with the administration. The article characterizes the decision as endorsing Trump's alleged bigotry and potentially damaging civil rights laws, linking it to broader administration immigration policies including detention centers, refugee program cuts, and birthright citizenship challenges.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Mullin v. Doe, allowing the Trump administration to proceed with deporting over 350,000 Haitian and Syrian nationals whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was revoked. The decision addressed two issues: whether Congress barred judicial review of the secretary's decision to terminate TPS designations, and whether the Haiti revocation was racially motivated. The court effectively blocked challenges to the termination itself, citing a statutory provision stripping courts of jurisdiction over such determinations. The article frames this as part of a broader Trump administration effort to restrict immigration and deport nonwhite individuals, criticizing the ruling as endorsing bigotry and damaging civil rights laws. It notes the ongoing crises in Haiti and Syria as context for the TPS designations.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. Doe that the federal government can terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for citizens of Haiti and Syria, allowing the Trump administration to proceed with deportations. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, arguing the TPS statute prohibits judicial review and rejecting claims that President Trump's racist comments about Haitians prove racial motivation behind the decision. About 330,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians are at risk of deportation to countries facing severe violence, political instability, and humanitarian crises, despite State Department Level 4 'Do Not Travel' advisories. The ruling overturns a lower-court order that had blocked removals, raising fears of targeted immigration enforcement against nonwhite refugee communities.
The American ProspectU.S. Supreme Court ruling ending protections for Haitian and Syrian immigrants may have broader impact across 17 countries
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 conservative majority decision on June 25, 2026, ruled to allow President Donald Trump's administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Haitian and 6,000 Syrian immigrants. The ruling has potentially far-reaching implications for nearly 1.3 million people from 17 countries currently on TPS, including large populations from Venezuela (650,000), Honduras (50,000), and pending decisions for Salvadorans (200,000) and Ukrainians (100,000). The Trump administration argues that countries are now safe for return and that the Department of Homeland Security has sole authority over TPS designations. Immigration lawyers and advocacy groups argue the administration failed to properly assess conditions in Haiti and Syria, which remain in crisis. The ruling is expected to take effect around July 27, 2026, after which affected individuals could lose work authorization and face potential deportation. Many other lawsuits challenging the termination of TPS for other nationalities are ongoing.
