The Supreme Court has issued a ruling that permits the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for many Haitians and Syrians residing in the United States. The decision clears the legal path for the possible deportation of these individuals.

This ruling comes after a legal battle over the administration's authority to change immigration policies. The court determined that the executive branch has the power to end such protections.

The affected individuals include thousands who have lived in the U.S. for years, often with work permits. While the exact number is unspecified, the ruling applies to 'many' Haitians and Syrians. The case is part of a series of court decisions on immigration during the Trump presidency.
