New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a defiant message in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the federal government’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrian and Haitian aliens.
In a 6-3 decision released Thursday, the Supreme Court
held that the “TPS statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims,” meaning the Department of Homeland Security has the right to proceed in
terminating the TPS status of Haitians and Syrians.
Mamdani began his
address by invoking “empathy and solidarity with Haitian and Syrian New Yorkers.”
A little over 84,000 foreign-born Haitians
resided in New York City as of 2023, according to a 2026 report from the city.
Mamdani continued, claiming the Supreme Court made “a decision that is putting so many people’s lives in jeopardy.”
