Supreme Court undermines TPS program, putting 147,000 immigrants in Texas at risk of deportation
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can revoke Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Haiti and Syria. The 6-to-3 ruling puts more than 1.3 million immigrants under TPS across the United States, including roughly 147,000 in Texas, at imminent risk of arrest and deportation.
Writing the conservative majority’s opinion in Mullin v. Doe, Associate Justice Samuel Alito said TPS functions entirely at the discretion of the president and is not subject to review by the courts.
“Congress created TPS in 1990 to provide short-term humanitarian relief for aliens who cannot safely return to their home countries,” Alito wrote. “Although designed to afford temporary relief, TPS designations in practice have often lasted for decades,”
Alito added that Haitian immigrants had received a TPS designation after the 2010 earthquake in the Caribbean country.
“The Supreme Court is signaling that lower courts should not interfere with the executive’s authority, that when Congress grants a broad discretionary power to grant temporary status, the president should also have the same power to revoke the temporary status,” said Josh Blackman, a professor of constitutional law at South Texas College of Law Houston. “I think this is a very important case of presidential power.”
First off, they are not immigrants: they are foreign aliens who were allowed into the U.S. temporarily. That’s the whole of their legal status. Second, how quickly till a wackjob federal judge comes out with a ruling which blocks ending TPS for some group in total avoidance of the SCOTUS ruling?
Seth Chandler, who teaches constitutional law at the University of Houston Law Center, said the ruling has dramatic consequences for Texas, which hosts one of the largest concentrations of TPS holders in the U.S.
“It basically streamlines the ability of the Trump administration to revoke TPS status, not just for the Haitians and Syrians who were litigating in the case the Supreme Court decided today, but with respect to Hondurans, Nepalis, Afghans, and perhaps critically for Houston, potentially Venezuelans as well,” Chandler said.
There does come a point when TPS ends, Democrats. It is not permanent.
The decision came down immediately after another immigration-related decision, which allows the Trump administration to enforce its “wait in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers.
As to that
(AIC) U.S. law provides that any person who is physically present in the United States or who “arrives in” the United States may apply for asylum. Congress further directed that immigration officers must “inspect” any noncitizen who “arrives in” the United States to determine if they should be admitted to the country — a function U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers carry out thousands of times per day at ports of entry. (snip)
Today, the Supreme Court blessed the practice of metering, overturning a 9th Circuit decision which had found that CBP had an affirmative obligation to process people who arrive at ports of entry but who have not yet stepped on U.S. soil after CBP officers have blocked their passage. The Court found that there was a difference between “arrives in” and “arrives at” the border, and declared that only those individuals who have physically set foot in the United States have a right to be inspected and apply for asylum.
In other words, we do not have to let them in no matter how loud they yet “asylum”.
As Mr Trump says, the dog and cat eating black and brown Haitians and Syrians are not as “good” or desirable as white Norwegians, who eat fish, but not your pet fish.
Haitians may not even be worth 3/5ths of a Norwegian.
Since many of the Syrians will be murdered in Syria why don’t we execute them here and save the airfare?
Maybe Rimjob should ask the mysterious domestic assaulter, Matthew Thomas, for the answer he seeks.
Fat Jeff,
We should not accept any brown or black folks. They all become dependents and don’t work. Can’t be educated, so why bring them here.
Fraudulent david,
Black and Brown folks made you rich, remember? When will the feds investigate you?
The Court found that there was a difference between “arrives in” and “arrives at” the border, and declared that only those individuals who have physically set foot in the United States have a right to be inspected and apply for asylum.
No. That was not what the court found. The Court found that TPS functions entirely at the discretion of the president and is not subject to review by the courts. The law says nothing about any immigrant gaining a “right” to asylum or even a right to claim asylum. This was a far reaching decision that can be applied to ALL of the attempts by the People’s Democratic Party to jam up the courts with immigration claims. Of course, that won’t stop judges from People’s Democratic party from making decisions contrary to the law and Supreme court decisions. Democrats only care about the law when they can use it to support their own agenda.
No. Not even close. You are wrong. Perhaps read the decison.
Held: An alien standing in Mexico does not “arriv[e] in the United States”
by attempting, and failing, to set foot in this country. An alien “arrives
in the United States” only when he crosses the border. The INA thus
neither entitles an alien standing in Mexico to apply for asylum nor
requires an immigration officer to inspect him.
Samuel Alito for the majority…

Repubicunts only care about the law when they can use it to support their own agenda, which is to harm “those” people.
Gotta love it when Rimjob tries to interpret constitutional law with another copy&paste.
Might try an original thought sometime, fatboy.
Bwaha! Lolgf!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
How dare they rule that temporary actually means temporary?
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is granted in increments of 6, 12, or 18 months. However, there is no limit on how long it can last. The U.S. government continuously reviews country conditions to decide whether to extend or terminate the designation.
As a result, status for some countries has been renewed for over a decade.
As of March 31, 2025, the last date for which publicly available data exists, there were approximately 1.3 million people with TPS living in the United States. Since that date, the Trump administration has terminated or announced its intent to terminate TPS for over million of these individuals, including over 50,000 Hondurans, over 330,000 Haitians and over 600,000 Venezuelans. In total, at least 700,000 people lost TPS in 2025 alone.
These terminations have been challenged in court (Supremes said: “too bad, so sad, LOL”).

Haitians are being deported for “eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats”. And for voting!!
When are the pussy 65 percenters going to understand that Donald J Trump is the King. He can do whatever he desires. Donny has the Supreme Court and Congress under control. That’s what the strongest man in the history of the world does. He rules with an iron fist.
Does that hurt your feelings, Rimjob?
With all the bullshit he’s had to put up with he’s doing a great job.
