Legislators and immigration advocates have strongly condemned and are expressing profound outrage over the ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) terminating the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of hundreds of Haitians and Syrians living in the country.
‘Again and again, this MAGA-corrupted Supreme Court has proven there are no lengths it will not go to disgrace itself in fealty and service of Donald Trump,’ Democratic Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC).
She said that Thursday’s ‘despicable ruling to allow the Trump administration to ignore the law and abandon any semblance of human decency by prematurely terminating TPS for Haiti and Syria is devastating on a scale that shocks the conscience’.
Clarke said that more than 350,000 TPS holders have now lost legal status and as a result ‘our communities will soon lose neighbours, loved ones, hardworking employees, and business leader’.
She said America’s moral standing in the world ‘continues to collapse under the weight of this president’s relentless humanitarian betrayal’.
