Statement from Rep. Sykes on Supreme Court Decisions Striking Down TPS Protections for Haitian and Syrian Families and Limiting Accountability for Harmed Consumers

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Representative Emilia Sykes (OH-13) issued the following statement on today's Supreme Court decisions:

"Today's Supreme Court decisions are a betrayal of working families and a win for powerful interests over justice.

By allowing the Trump Administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian nationals, the Court has put hundreds of thousands of people, including families living in Ohio, at risk of deportation back to dangerous and unstable conditions. These are neighbors who have built lives here, and they deserve dignity and protection, not fear and uncertainty.

In a separate ruling, the Court made it harder for Americans suffering from cancer and other serious illnesses to hold Monsanto accountable for the harm they allege was caused by Roundup, once again prioritizing corporate power over people seeking justice.

These decisions send a clear and unacceptable message: working families, immigrants, and consumers come last, while powerful institutions come first. That is not justice.

I am outraged by these rulings, and I will continue fighting for immigrant families, consumer protections, and a justice system that works for the people, not against them."
