Supreme Court rules against TPS immigrants seeking green cards
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that thousands living in the United States under Temporary Protected Status remain ineligible to apply for permanent residence. Justice Kagan stated TPS does not admit unlawful entrants, so it cannot confer permanent residency. The decision affects about 400,000 people from 12 countries including El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, and others, while TPS recipients who first entered legally may still seek a green card. The ruling leaves potential legislation uncertain in Congress.
