SCOTUS lets Trump end temporary protected status

Interesting ruling. The TPS law says that decidin;'g who gets status is to be decided by DHS without judicial review. However, there are procedures that are supposed to be followed. But not in Trump World. Here, the head of DHS gets to decide without consultation. That was K. Noem, who ended TPS for Haitians and Syrians on her own. Obviously at the direction of Trump. So the whole process falls to 1/2 people. 

This is bad for many reasons. The most obvious is what is happening now. One admin grants TPS to group(s) of people; the next admin ends it. So now TPS is in jeopardy for a about 300K Haitians and a few K Syrians. But also another 1.3 million  others are up in the air with their status. 

The law needs to be redone so that TPS doesn't become a political football that allows people into the US only to be booted some time later. 

And when Noem declared Haiti/Syria "safe" for people to return, US citizens were warned that both countries were to dangerous to travel to. So there's that. 

And the whole process shouldn't be in the hands of a single  person. It wasn't, until the 6 SCOTI said it could be. I wonder how they'll rule when a Democrat chooses differently.

If a President can decide to let them in, then a President can decide to kick them out.

Be nice, even when you don't want to!

Shouldn't happen either way. And of course it DOESN'T. Here's a post explaining reality:

• Country Designation: The DHS Secretary has the sole discretionary authority to designate a foreign country for TPS. This is done in consultation with other federal agencies (such as the Department of State) when a nation is facing ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary conditions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Individual Grants: While the Secretary designates the country, eligible individuals must apply for the status and receive approval directly from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which is a component of DHS. [1, 2]
• 
  
• Note the term "consultation". Try explaining that to Kristy Noem and Trump. They haven't learned the term or employed it much. Hence the repeated references to Hitler and other despots. They don't consult, even when it's specifically called for.

Sole discretion...

"In consultation". Evidence strongly suggests that Noem skipped this step. How can ONE person know what to do with tens of thousands of people? An impossible task. Hence the consultation. Unless of course that person just wants to rid the US of EVERY person from a certain country. And THAT makes no sense whatsoever; unless of course the motivation is just plain racism/bias/Islamophobia/etc. 

This makes no more sense than allowing EVERYONE from Scandinavian countries to enter.
