Oppose the Supreme Court's TPS Ruling — Restore Status for Haitians and Syrians

To: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Casar, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Manor, TX

July 8

Come out publicly against the Supreme Court's ruling allowing the Trump administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from roughly 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians — and use every tool available to fight it. This decision doesn't just end a program; it opens the door to terminating TPS for nearly 1.3 million people from 17 nations, the overwhelming majority of them from non-white countries. That pattern is not a coincidence. The human cost is immediate and real. TPS holders are neighbors, healthcare workers, business owners, and parents of American-born children. Ending their status doesn't just uproot them — it forces families to choose between separation and uprooting U.S. citizen kids. Fred Tsao of ICIRR has warned that this ruling effectively shuts off legal accountability for TPS administrative decisions, leaving affected communities with almost nowhere to turn. Congress has the power to act. Support legislation that restores TPS for Haiti and Syria through an adjustment act providing a pathway to permanent residency. Haiti's TPS was first granted after the devastating 2010 earthquakes and has been extended because the crisis never ended. These people built lives here in good faith. A public statement isn't enough — I need to see you co-sponsor or champion a legislative fix and stand visibly with the communities this ruling targets.
