Leader Schumer Statement On Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Trump To Revoke Protections For Haitians And Syrians, Forcing Them Back Into Violence And Instability

Washington D.C - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after the Supreme Court's decision allowing the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian nationals:

"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 when returning home is unsafe. Haiti and Syria remain unsafe today. Instead of showing basic humanity, Donald Trump and this Court have chosen fear, chaos, and cruelty

"I have introduced legislation to extend TPS for Haitians, and will keep fighting to protect Haitian and Syrian families from being forced back into danger. America should not turn its back on people who came here seeking safety."
