New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to protect Haitian and Syrian migrants after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants.
In a video message, Mamdani criticized the 6-3 decision from the Supreme Court, stating that it “is putting so many people’s lives in jeopardy,” adding that New Yorkers stand “in solidarity with all of those who are concerned” by the ruling.
In his video message, Mamdani also stated that it was “cruel” to have “people who frankly taught the world about freedom, have their own freedom be put in jeopardy,” the New York Post reported.
“Many of you know, this is a city of eight and a half million people, more than three million of us were born elsewhere — I’m one of them. We’re a city that’s proud of our immigrant heritage,” Mamdani said. “When we think about — especially what Haitian New Yorkers have had to deal with, not just for weeks or months or years, but frankly for decades we have seen a cruelty that has become normalized. To have a people who frankly taught the world about freedom, have their own freedom be put in jeopardy by the actions of a Supreme Court and a federal administration, it is not only cruel — it’s something that we will not ever accept.”
