U.S. Supreme Court rulings on immigration trigger Haitian deportation fears and Trump’s birthright citizenship push

The U.S. Supreme Court’s June decision to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians legally residing in the United States has sparked panic among Haitian communities. Activists warn that Haiti lacks the capacity to absorb large numbers of returnees amid widespread insecurity, food shortages and high unemployment. Haitian workers, especially in Florida’s health, hospitality and agriculture sectors, contribute billions to the U.S. economy, but many now face uncertainty over employment and possible removal.

Separately, the Court also rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. Trump announced he will petition the Court to rehear the case, calling the ruling “insane” and threatening it could “destroy” the United States. The move follows his broader immigration agenda that includes attempts to curb illegal immigration and revise citizenship policies.
