5 min readThe U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision clearing the way for mass deportations of people with Temporary Protected Status, and President Trump announced $150 million in earthquake aid for Venezuela, as wildfires, a European heat wave, and the World Cup also made headlines.
Supreme Court Ruling on Temporary Protected Status
The Supreme Court issued a ruling that allows the Trump administration to proceed with possible mass deportations of individuals who hold Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The decision was immediately met with condemnation from Democratic lawmakers on the steps of the Court. House Minority Whip Catherine Clark and Massachusetts Congresswoman Ayana Pressley were among those who spoke out, with the word "shame" being chanted repeatedly.
Pressley addressed the approximately 1.3 million people historically protected by TPS, stating, "America is still your home." Earlier this spring, Pressley led a discharge petition that forced a House vote on a bill to extend TPS specifically for Haiti, which passed. Similar legislation has been introduced in the Senate. The ruling is considered a significant victory for the administration’s broader immigration agenda.
