In a highly anticipated decision, the US Supreme Court is set to rule on the fate of hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants who have been living in the United States with temporary protections from deportation. The Trump administration's attempt to end the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) program, which shields these immigrants from deportation, has been met with fierce resistance from immigration advocates and some lawmakers. The program has been in place since 2010, initially for Haitians after a devastating earthquake devastated the island nation, and later expanded to include Syrians due to the ongoing civil war. The Supreme Court's decision will have far-reaching implications for the lives of these immigrants, many of whom have built families and lives in the US, and could potentially lead to a significant increase in deportations.
The Supreme Court will decide whether the Trump administration can end protections from deportation for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
