Horrible news out of SCOTUS, both for those here with TPS & for those seeking safety. SCOTUS has given the admin a green light to change the rules on a whim, regardless of consequences for our communities. The result is more chaos, both at the border and within our communities.

Nearly 12 million immigration applications are frozen — not denied, just frozen. Sitting in a queue for months or years with no explanation. This limbo is dangerous. People are being deported even when they've done everything right. 🧵 justiceactioncenter.org/theg…

Today’s case before the Supreme Court should have been open and shut. Donald Trump doesn’t have the power to decide who is worthy of being American – no U.S. president has ever, or should ever, have that power.
