US Supreme Court ends TPS for Haitians and Syrians, allows border turnbacks

In a 6‑3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration’s authority to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals and 6,100 Syrian nationals living in the United States. The majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, held that the statutory language of the TPS program “plainly bars judicial review” of the Department of Homeland Security’s termination decisions. The Court also ruled that migrants standing on the Mexican side of the border have not “arrived” in the United States and therefore are not entitled to file asylum claims, clearing the way to revive the “metering” practice of turning back asylum seekers before they step onto U.S. soil.

The three liberal justices dissented. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the ruling will cause “more people will die” and create “dire humanitarian conditions,” while Justice Elena Kagan argued the administration’s termination of TPS was motivated by racial bias. The decisions affect not only the Haitian and Syrian holders but also set precedent for the 1.3 million TPS beneficiaries from 17 other countries, potentially exposing them to removal proceedings.
