The US Supreme Court on Thursday backed a Trump administration move to strip deportation protections from some 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians living in the United States.<\/p>\n

The conservative-dominated court, in a 6-3 ruling, said the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian immigrants was not subject to judicial review.<\/p>\n

TPS protects its holders from deportation and is granted to people deemed to be in danger if they return home because of war, natural disaster or other extraordinary circumstances.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Haitian and Syrian TPS holders contended during oral arguments before the court in April that conditions in their home countries remained unsafe and the administration\u2019s move was motivated at least in part by racial hostility.<\/p>\n

Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the majority opinion in which he was joined by the five other conservative justices on the top court, rejected claims that race was a \u201cmotivating factor\u201d in US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to strip Haitians of TPS status.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of the cited statements by either the president or the [Homeland Security] Secretary was overtly racial, and in substance all expressed policy views that could rest on race-neutral justifications,\u201d Alito said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The US Supreme Court on Thursday backed a Trump administration move to strip deportation protections from some 350,000…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":726184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[312453,23,36525,12,312454,13130,3,146173,10498,15304,312455,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-726183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-alito","tag-america","tag-department-of-homeland-security","tag-donald-trump","tag-haitian","tag-nepal","tag-news","tag-samuel-alito","tag-sonia-sotomayor","tag-supreme-court","tag-syrian","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=726183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/726183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/726184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=726183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=726183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=726183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
