Mayor Michelle Wu is condemning the Supreme Court's decision allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status protections.

Wu says thousands of Haitians in Boston have built their lives here and called on Congress to create a pathway to citizenship.

June is 🏳️‍🌈. Try again.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Four years ago, the Supreme Court corrected one of the gravest acts of judicial activism in our nation’s history.

Dobbs returned this debate to the American people.

My resolution to designate June as "Life Month" signifies that every human life is worth protecting and fighting for.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the Supreme Court of the United States' decision in Mullin v. Doe, regarding Temporary Protected Status (TPS):

"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.   

"Today’s decision is a legal decision.  As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.

"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.

"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse.  The violent gangs run most of the country.  The government barely functions.  And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs. 

"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."

The success of the U.S. men’s national soccer team in this year’s World Cup is the product in part of America’s historically welcoming immigration system. https://t.co/KdYiA6IuLS via @WSJopinion

Michelle Obama: We simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent, to wring our hands in despair, or to wait for someone else to fix the problem. Hope is all we have, because hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change. But hope is a choice. Whether or not we use our voices to speak up is a choice. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. Believing that we still hold the power to build a country that reflects us all is a choice.
