a ruling ended the status for thousands<\/a> of people from both countries.<\/p>\n“It’s allowing this administration to say, ‘you are not welcome here, regardless of what the immigration laws, and regardless of what international laws provide,'” said Fred Tsao, with the Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights.<\/p>\n
Immigration groups say there is no legal recourse for Haitians and Syrians with TPS who now face deportation or must leave on their own, returning to countries that are not considered safe.

“We’re here to, like, be here, to be a resource to those, especially for the families that are going to be impacted by it. So, we want to be here to show the compassion and empathy that you’re not alone,” said Merlyn Jose-Liors Restaurant, with the Daughters of Haiti Organization.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration has sought to end TPS for 13 other countries; immigration groups say the Supreme Court opens the door for that to happen.<\/p>\n
