U.S. Supreme Court to assess Trump's proposal to remove protections for Syrian and Haitian citizens

Washington.- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the Trump administration's initiative to end the protection received by people fleeing war and natural disasters in countries around the world, including Haiti and Syria.

This Monday, the Supreme Court decided to hear the arguments after the case arrived from the lower courts, as numerous judges have delayed the end of the protections that allowed people with temporary protected status to live and work in the United States. The Department of Justice appealed these resolutions and now the Supreme Court will be in charge of assessing the legality or not of the measure adopted by the Government. The Trump administration maintains that the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program and other humanitarian protections have been "misused," so they are trying to make citizens of countries at war or affected by natural disasters lose this special coverage.

Political Tensions Over Immigration Raids

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is trying to eliminate TPS for citizens of El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Nepal, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Cameroon. Some federal courts have blocked or delayed the termination of protection, so that citizens of some of these nationalities, such as those from Syria or Haiti, are still protected under TPS while the judicial process remains open. Regarding Syria, National Security maintains that, after the fall of the Assad regime, Syria is "in the process of institutional stabilization" and there is no longer a widespread conflict preventing the safe return of its citizens. And regarding Haiti, the Department of Security has stated that "the environmental situation in Haiti has improved enough" for Haitians to return safely, ignoring reports from humanitarian organizations that point to serious insecurity and violence. Trump's immigration policy in this second term has been characterized by its harshness and its restrictive nature and has starred in some of the moments of greatest parliamentary tension. In fact, following the death of two U.S. citizens by shots fired by federal agents in the protests against immigration raids in Minneapolis, the tension between Democrats and Republicans escalated, causing the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.
