Decision effects hundreds of thousands of people who have permission to live and work in the US because their home countries are unsafe

In another boost to Donald Trump’s unprecedented hardline crackdown on immigrants, including many who have lived legally in the US for years, the court issued a 6-3 ruling. That was powered ⁠by its conservative-leaning majority, overturning decisions by ⁠federal judges in New York and Washington DC that had halted the administration’s actions terminating TPS for more than 350,000 people from Haiti and 6,100 from Syria.

The court’s three liberal-leaning justices disagreed with the opinion. It leaves Haitians and Syrians in the US on TPS vulnerable to deportation even if they have applications for other forms of immigration status in progress.

The state department currently warns against traveling to either Haiti or Syria, citing widespread violence, crime, terrorism and ⁠kidnapping.

All countries with a designation allowing TPS in the US are now considered under threat as the ruling will embolden the US president to strip other places of their status, no matter how risky it would be for immigrants to return there.

    If you don’t think trump’s real desired version

    It’s Steven Miller’s vision. But, again, it’s just an extension of the existing carceral state. Trump/Miller aren’t dreaming up anything that didn’t already exist under Ronald Wilson Reagan’s California governorship. The only thing they’re changing is volume.

    Reagan was horrible in his own ways, but I don’t rememeber Reagan trying to outright break the Constitution or deny birthright citizenship.

    trump hates getting stopped

    Him and every other politico to the right of John McCain and the left of AOC. Only liberals have a fetish for being told “No”.

    I’m not sure what your point is. Just as one example, the ACA still exists in some form and we know trump hates it. If trump could just end the ACA with the stroke of a pen, he would.

    He would love for all of those to be gone.

    To paraphrase the great political theorist November Kelly, “I hate when the government defends itself against my team. I love when the government defends itself against the other team.”

    Right, that supports my argument.

    Trump doesn’t need these organs gone. He has them fully co-opted by his MAGA co-conspirators and billionaire friends. Once he’s out of office, he 100% wants a muscular SCOTUS to hold up the stop sign in front of every Barack Obama who enters office in his wake. He wants a Senate that gets nothing done under Democrats for the same reason he wants a rubber stamp from his fellow republicans.

    Not fully, but he’s working on it. He still needs Republicans to hold the legislature and with all the damage he’s doing using the Republican name, that is looking increasingly less and less likely.

    The modern democratic system exists as a ratchet to the benefit of fascists. And Trump loves that the ratchet turns his way.

    trump doesn’t like how slow it turns, even if it turns his way.
