Supreme Court Allows Deportation of 500,000 Immigrants

The US Supreme Court on Friday sided with the Trump administration, allowing the government to end the temporary protected status (TPS) for more than 500,000 immigrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua. This decision could result in the deportation of these individuals. A federal judge in Boston had previously blocked the administration's attempt to end the TPS program, arguing that the relevant law did not allow for the complete termination of the program. However, the Supreme Court reversed this decision, with two liberal justices dissenting. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued that the government failed to demonstrate irreparable harm and that the decision would cause significant human and social harm to the affected immigrants. The ruling has sparked widespread debate and concern among immigrant rights advocates.
