Supreme Court ruling on immigrant protections could affect thousands in Minnesota

The justices ruled that courts cannot review the Trump administration's decisions to end Temporary Protected Status, a move that could affect immigrants in Somalia and Ethiopia.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his opinion that the Trump administration's "TPS designation decisions are not subject to judicial review." A divided Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the judicial branch cannot interfere with the government's decision to end TPS.

There are more than 1 million immigrants nationally living in the U.S. under the program. There are 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians with TPS in the U.S. Minnesota is home to about 4,000 Haitians and 1,500 Syrians.

Others had said it is too dangerous to return home. For example, the ongoing lawsuit to stop the cancellation of TPS for Yemen points out that the U.S. State Department does not recommend anyone travel to Yemen without making a will first.

Immigrants left without any legal status after the cancellation of TPS for their country must leave the U.S. or risk being deported.
