Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to never accept the US Supreme Court\u2019s ruling allowing President Trump\u2019s administration to strip deportation protection for Haitian and Syrian migrants.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have people who frankly taught the world about freedom have their own freedom put into jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and federal administration \u2014 it is not only cruel, it\u2019s not something we will ever accept,\u201d Hizzoner said in a video statement after Thursday\u2019s bombshell 6-3 ruling.<\/p>\n

The high court ruled that the \u201ctemporary protected status\u201d statutes don\u2019t allow for judicial review and that lower courts can\u2019t intervene in the Trump administration\u2019s decision to remove deportation protections for more than 6,000 Syrians and 350,000 Haitians living in the US.<\/p>\n

Mamdani immediately rallied with immigration advocates, Gov. Kathy Hochul and state Attorney General Letitia James following the ruling, and released the defiant video message afterward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court just sparked one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. In one fell swoop, thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home,\u201d Mamdani also said in a statement issued by City Hall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families,\u201d the statement said. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo the tens of thousands of New Yorkers with TPS who are watching the news, frightened about what comes next, hear me clearly: New York City is your home. You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

City Hall said the Mayor\u2019s Office of Immigrant Affairs would be sharing \u201cadditional information and resources soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will not face this cruelty alone. This administration will stand alongside immigrant New Yorkers today, tomorrow, and every day that follows,\u201d Mamdani said.<\/p>\n

City data shows that there are roughly 115,000 Haitians and nearly 12,000 Syrians across the Big Apple.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TPS protections had been in place for Syrians since 2012 due to the outbreak of civil war and has been in place for Haitians since 2010 following the deadly earthquake.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration successfully removed TPS designation for Venezuelan migrants after the Supreme Court issued a similar ruling.<\/p>\n
