The president of the Texas NAACP, Gary Bledsoe, condemned the US Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling last week allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for more than 350,000 Haitian immigrants, exposing families to the loss of work permits and possible deportation.
Bledsoe added that the decision is rooted in anti-Black immigration sentiment and ignores equal protection principles.
Haiti is still facing violence, political instability, and humanitarian crises, and ending TPS puts families with US-born children at risk. NAACP officials said the ruling reflects a pattern of racism and xenophobia in federal policy and called Supreme Court reform essential to protecting democracy.
