Mamdani, NY pols condemn U.S. Supreme Court stripping legal status for thousands Haitians, Syrians in city

The U.S. Supreme Court ended temporary protected status for over 300,000 Haitian and Syrian immigrants, affecting 40,000 New Yorkers. The 6-3 ruling allows the Trump administration to proceed with deportations, rejecting judicial review of federal immigration decisions. Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion stated courts cannot review such decisions, while dissenting Justice Elena Kagan argued the ruling was racially discriminatory, citing President Trump's derogatory remarks about Haitians.
