Congresswoman Ross Denounces Harmful Supreme Court Ruling to End TPS for Haitians and Syrians

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's ruling to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and Syrians: "Today's ruling ignores our nation's history and values. For centuries, immigrants have come to America for a better life under the threat of violence and persecution in their home countries. The Supreme Court betrayed that tradition and has turned its back on our longstanding commitment to protecting those in need. "For no logical or moral reason, the Court has stripped away legal status from thousands of families who played by the rules, worked hard, and have become a part of communities across the country. By siding with the Trump administration's cruel anti-immigrant agenda, the Supreme Court has made it easier to uproot families and send vulnerable people back to dangerous conditions without making Americans any safer or more prosperous. "North Carolina knows the strength that immigrants bring to our communities. People from all over the world have moved to our state to work hard, strengthen our economy, and build a future for their families. "These families deserve certainty, dignity, and the chance to continue calling America home. Congress must pass legislation to provide security and certainty for individuals here under Temporary Protected Status. I will continue to help our immigrant communities." ###
