U.S. should not deport people into war zones

Congress must not let Trump revoke protections for those fleeing countries that we consider unsafe

OPINION — The Trump administration wants to deport hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents to dangerous countries. And the Supreme Court’s MAGA majority just gave its blessing.

On June 25, the Supreme Court paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status from 350,000 migrants from Haiti and over 6,000 from Syria.

TPS is a legal status given to migrants from countries the U.S. government agrees are too dangerous to return to. Haiti and Syria certainly fit the description. The State Department warns Americans against traveling to Syria and Haiti “for any reason” due to the risk of crime, terrorism, kidnapping, unrest, hostage taking and armed conflict.
