In today’s ruling by the conservative majority 6 to 3 United States Supreme Court, Samuel ‘Roe v Wade was erroneously decided’ Alito wrote that Haitian immigrants’ claims that Donald Trump’s decision to strip them and Syrians from the Temporary Protected Status they, up until today, enjoyed, was not “overtly” motivated by racism and therefore could proceed with denying them legal protections because the statute governing TPS gives the Executive Branch leeway on determining which groups can be designated temporary.
In her dissent, Justice Elena Kagan pointed out Mr. Trump’s racist comments about Haitian’s, including that they come from “a shithole country,” “come into the United States with AIDS,” and “Are eating dogs and cats in Ohio communities.”
If Aspiring White Nationalist Duce Donald Trump, Judenrat Stephen Miller, Tom ‘Where did you put the money’ Hohman, and Homeland Security Markwayne ‘I want to fight you’ Mullin have their way, all the approximately one million legal immigrants currently on the country’s TPS list, all from majority non-white nations, will be subject to deportation which will wreak chaos and economic havic in the communities they live in.
Justice Alitio and his five conservative colleagues just put a “Whites Only’ Sign on all the ports of entry into the United States.
Reacting to today’s Court Ruling, Arizona Representative Yassamin Ansari posted on social media:
“The Supreme Court just ruled that Donald Trump can strip legal protections from hundreds of thousands of people in this country with temporary protected status. That’s our friends, that’s our co-workers, that’s our parents, people who fled war and disaster to come to this country, who followed the law, who built a life here. An unelected, extremist Supreme Court is coming up with these decisions.
We need Supreme Court reform immediately, we need to expand the court, and we need term limits. These justices are so out of control and far right and extremist, and they’re holding a country of several hundred million people here in the United States hostage.”
Earlier, Representative Ansari condemned the Trump White Nationalist Regime’s move to make it financially harder to apply for citizenship by raising the documentation processing fee $570.00, saying:
“Another day, another barrier to citizenship.
The Trump regime wants to raise citizenship application fees and make legal immigration more difficult, putting the American dream further out of reach for many families.
This latest proposal reeks of Stephen Miller’s racist, anti-immigrant playbook—creating new obstacles for people who are following the rules and meaningfully contributing to our country.”
She also took exception to Trump’s ICE-Gestapo tracking down a poll worker in New York to get her to pull a personal post naming the killer of Renee Good and calling for his indictment, posting:
Appearing with other legislatos, Representative Adelita Grijalva said:
“While communities across America are honoring generations of immigrants who helped build this country, Trump and his administration and this court are choosing fear, cruelty, and division. What this administration and the Supreme Court has done is an injustice to everyone…
We want justice, dignity, and peace. That’s not a lot to ask for an immigrant community that has done everything exactly the way this nation has told you to do it. Because this nation is built on the labor of immigrants.
I am the proud granddaughter of a Bracero, a hard-working Mexican immigrant who came to this country for an opportunity for a better life. We need to remind this court and this administration that we are not outsiders. We are part of this nation…
Immigrants are part of our history, past, and present, and future.
I will never stop fighting alongside our immigrant communities…”
In an official press release, Representative Grijalva wrote:
“Donald Trump is trying to change what our nation looks like – and the Supreme Court is enabling him. Their right-wing majority sided with Trump’s extreme immigration agenda to block asylum seekers at the southern border and strip protections from people fleeing authoritarian regimes, war, and persecution. The right to seek asylum from life-threatening violence and persecution is not just enshrined in U.S. law – it is protected under international law. These rulings are a moral stain on the foundations of this country, and a betrayal of the values and principles we have both a legal and humanitarian responsibility to uphold.”
Like Ansari, Grijalva, in the below post, also called out Trump-Miller’s White Nationalist Immigration crackdowns in making life harder for legal immigrants, such as the bureaucratic slow walking of Dreamer reapplications or telling people to leave the country and reapply to come back in.
In a joint statement with fellow Democratic Senators Catherine Cortez Masto, Ben Ray Luján, and Alex Padilla, Ruben Gallego wrote:
“The Supreme Court’s decision in this case is a betrayal of American families. TPS is a legal immigration status and a lifeline for those fleeing violence and disaster. Here legally for decades, TPS recipients have become important members of our communities. For the Supreme Court to rubberstamp Trump’s mass deportation scheme is cruel and frankly un-American – the impacts will ripple across all immigrant communities and put every TPS holder at risk. Let us be clear: we will not stop fighting for a pathway to citizenship for families across America.”
