Supreme Court Backs Trump On Haiti And Syria Deportation Protections. The Supreme Court of the United States has allowed President Donald Trump to end deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Haiti and Syria. The 6-3 ruling clears the way for the administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitians and about 6,100 Syrians. Justice Samuel Alito said federal courts cannot review the administration's decisions on Temporary Protected Status. In a dissent, Justice Elena Kagan argued the administration failed to follow required procedures and said evidence suggested race played a role in the Haiti decision. The ruling could affect future legal challenges involving Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from 17 countries. The court also backed the Trump administration in a separate immigration ruling, allowing officials to turn away asylum seekers when border crossings are considered too overwhelmed.
