Immigration Hard-Liners Repeatedly Lost in Court Before Justices Ruled in Their Favor
“This is a victory 10 years in the making,” a White House official said after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could end deportation protections for some migrants.

The Supreme Court decision that will allow deportation of Haitians and Syrians protected under a federal humanitarian program was the culmination of a long campaign by conservatives whose efforts to dismantle it had been blocked by lower courts.

“This is a victory 10 years in the making,” Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, told Fox News on Thursday. “We can finally remove these Haitian illegal migrants from the United States.”

Immigration hard-liners in the Trump administration have long railed against the program, known as Temporary Protected Status, and have accused previous administrations of abusing it. They say the program allowed some migrants to stay in the United States for years even though the protections, as the name implies, were meant to be temporary.

When asked by reporters outside the White House whether immigrants who lose T.P.S. would be vulnerable to deportation, he was blunt: “Well, of course, if you no longer have status in this country, then you’re supposed to be deported.”

Mr. Miller was unmoved when asked whether the administration considered Haiti a safe place.

“Haitians live in Haiti,” he said. “I mean, it would be crazy for us to say that Haitians couldn’t live in Haiti. It’s their country.”

9. MaddowBlog-Thanks to the Supreme Court, Trump is poised to betray a community he vowed to 'champion'

In 2016, Trump told Haitian Americans he wanted to be the community’s “biggest champion.” A decade later, the rhetoric rings like a cruel joke.

Around this time a decade ago, Trump stressed the “common values” he shared with Haitian Americans and vowed to be the community’s “biggest champion.”

Ten years later, the rhetoric rings like a cruel joke.

Around this time 10 years ago, when Florida was still seen as a competitive battleground state, Donald Trump campaigned in Miami and spent some time at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, stressing the “common values” he shared with Haitian Americans.

“Whether you vote for me or not,” the candidate said at the time, “I really want to be your biggest champion.”....

And two years after that, a full decade after he stressed the “common values” he shared with Haitian Americans and vowed to be the community’s “biggest champion,” the Republican took steps to eliminate temporary status protection for hundreds of thousands of Haitians currently living legally in the United States.

The move sparked a court fight, culminating in a predictable ruling from the high court’s conservative majority. MS NOW’s Jordan Rubin explained:

The Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed majority sided with the Trump administration over Haitians and Syrians on Thursday in a ruling on the administration’s attempt to end humanitarian safeguards under the Temporary Protected Status program.

Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion curbed the power of courts to review government decisions to terminate protections under the TPS program. For this case, the majority said that means Haitians and Syrians aren’t entitled to orders keeping their protections in place while their litigation proceeds, even though lower courts found serious legal problems with the administration’s attempt to end their protections.

Writing for the three-member minority, Justice Elena Kagan explained that without such postponement, “hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians living in this country will lose their legal status and work authorization” and that most of them “will have no legal option except to leave the country, even at the price of leaving family behind.”

Kagan went on to note that hundreds of thousands of lives “will be uprooted, most permanently, while this litigation to annul the Secretary’s (likely illegal) termination orders proceeds.”

By all appearances, the White House considers such consequences a feature, not a bug.

In her latest opinion piece for The New York Times, Kate Shaw, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, added that with the high court’s ruling, the administration “is now free to move forward with what immigrants rights advocates describe as the largest de-documentation in U.S. history.”
