A United States Supreme Court ruling has given the executive branch the power to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for people from Haiti and Syria, leading to a major change in how immigration laws are enforced.

美國最高法院的一項裁決賦予行政部門權力，可終止來自海地與敘利亞人士的臨時保護狀態（TPS），導致移民法執法方式發生重大變動。

The change started with a 6-3 Supreme Court decision on June 25. The court decided that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the authority to manage TPS designations without much interference from the courts. Consequently, the government can now stop protections for about 350,000 Haitians and several thousand Syrians. The administration emphasized that the program was only meant to be a short-term measure and asserted that conditions in these countries have improved enough for people to return home. However, legal experts and humanitarian groups argue that this decision creates a dangerous precedent that could threaten over one million people from other countries, such as Venezuela, Afghanistan, and Myanmar.

這次變動始於6月25日最高法院一項6比3的裁決。法院決定國土安全部（DHS）有權管理TPS指定，無需受到法院過多干預。因此，政府現在可以終止對約35萬名海地人及數千名敘利亞人的保護。行政當局強調該計畫原僅為短期措施，並聲稱這些國家的情況已改善至足以讓民眾回國。然而，法律專家與人道主義團體認為，此決定創造了一個危險先例，可能會威脅到來自其他國家（如委內瑞拉、阿富汗與緬甸）的一百多萬人。

Data from the International Rescue Committee shows that the government's view differs from the actual situation on the ground. For example, in Syria, about 90% of people who returned after December 2024 found a lack of basic services, and 71% reported that their homes were damaged. Similarly, the U.S. State Department still warns citizens not to travel to Haiti due to gang violence and political instability. In Venezuela, political problems and natural disasters continue despite claims of improvement. Ending TPS means these individuals lose their protection from deportation and their permits to work, which critics say will hurt local economies and disrupt the lives of long-term residents.

國際救援委員會的數據顯示，政府的觀點與地面實際情況不符。例如在敘利亞，約90%在2024年12月後返回的人發現缺乏基本服務，且71%的人報告其家園遭到損毀。同樣地，美國國務院仍警告公民不要前往海地，原因是幫派暴力與政治不穩定。在委內瑞拉，儘管有改善之說，但政治問題與自然災害依然持續。終止TPS意味著這些個體將失去免於被驅逐的保護及其工作許可，批評者表示這將損害當地經濟並擾亂長期居民的生活。

These changes have caused strong reactions in Florida, where many Haitians live. In Tallahassee, religious leaders have asked Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody to find a legislative solution. These leaders argue that sending people back to unstable environments is a moral failure. Furthermore, they emphasized that these immigrants are important members of the American workforce, working as healthcare professionals and business owners. This situation highlights a larger problem: the government relies on the president's decisions because Congress has not passed a permanent law to protect long-term TPS holders.

這些變動在許多海地人居住的佛羅里達州引起強烈反應。在塔拉哈西，宗教領袖要求參議員Rick Scott與Ashley Moody尋找立法解決方案。這些領袖認為將民眾遣返回不穩定的環境是一種道德失敗。此外，他們強調這些移民是美國勞動力的重要成員，擔任醫療專業人員與企業主。此情況凸顯了一個更大的問題：由於國會尚未通過保護長期TPS持有者的永久法律，政府必須依賴總統的決定。

Currently, TPS holders face a period of great uncertainty as the government moves to cancel their protections and work permits across several different nationalities.

目前，由於政府採取行動取消數個不同國籍人士的保護與工作許可，TPS持有者正面臨一段極大的不確定時期。
