Haitians will no longer be able to eat our cats and dogs. Thanks, SCOTUS!
The Extreme Court just gave The Worst President Ever, Pee Wee German, and their racist base a huge win. In a 6-3 ruling, primarily along party lines, SCOTUS just stripped about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians of Temporary Protected Status. They now face mass deportation to countries that have suffered war, devastation, ruin, and human rights abuses.
The TPS program, in place since 1990, provides humanitarian relief to people from countries reeling from war, natural disasters or other catastrophes. Recipients have legal status in the United States and can apply for work authorization for up to 18 months, subject to extensions.
But, that ended today.

More Extreme Court Rulings:
The Supreme Court on Thursday backed the Trump administration’s bid to strengthen its ability to regulate the entry of asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The case saw conservative Justice Samuel Alito, who authored the ruling, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who dissented, clash openly in court as the ruling was announced.
Under federal immigration law, a person can seek asylum only if he or she is “physically present” in the country or “arrives in the United States.” The policy, first introduced in a different form by President Barack Obama in 2016, sought to prevent that requirement from being triggered by allowing U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to block people from entering a border crossing area if the facility was deemed to be at capacity.
Supreme Court strikes Hawaii’s “default” ban on guns on private property that’s open to the public
The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Hawaii law that banned guns on private property open to the public where the owner hadn’t explicitly condoned the carrying of firearms.
In the ruling, the conservative majority said the law — passed after a blockbuster 2022 ruling from the high court expanding gun rights — was unconstitutional.
“This regime hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives. We hold that the law is unconstitutional,” Justice Samuel Alito said in the majority opinion.
