‘PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE:’ Lefties Bewail the End of Protected Status for Haitians, Syrians.
When a Supreme Court ruling causes the mainstream media and Democrat politicians to dissolve into tears of fury, you know the decision was much more in favor of We the People and the Constitution than of woke judicial activism. And with two major immigration decisions going for the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, lefty media stooges are, of course, roaring like a Shakespearean tempest.
To clarify a few facts first, the majority opinion in Mullin v. Doe (which is causing particular fury) was in favor of acknowledging that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) should be just that — temporary. The Supreme Court also rejected the claim that the Trump administration was targeting certain racial groups or that hundreds of thousands of Haitians should receive TPS 16 years after the earthquake that triggered the designation. Syrians, likewise, face a concerning but different situation back home now than they did in 2012 when their TPS started. None of those facts is influencing the MSM and Democrat meltdown.
Naturally, Democrat politicians rushed to bewail this SCOTUS win for American workers and American taxpayers.
In a cruel and inhumane decision, the Supreme Court just turned its back on more than 300,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians who have worked and raised families here because they faced violence and instability back home.
TPS exists for exactly this reason: to protect people… https://t.co/CsCVydkzgz— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) June 25, 2026
That’s nonsense. Why would Haitians want to leave their island paradise to come to America? I’m told it’s a beautiful country, and great already!
