Pressley, Wasserman Schultz\n\nWashington (June 25, 2026) \u2013 Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) today released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration\u2019s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria in the consolidated case, Mullin v. Doe. The Court\u2019s decision also impacts TPS holders from about a dozen other countries. Previously, Senator Markey introduced legislation to extend Haiti\u2019s TPS designation, and he supports legislation to give TPS holders a pathway to legal residency. In April, he led 26 Senators and 157 Representatives in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Mullin v. Doe with Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25).\n\nToday, Senator Markey, alongside Representatives Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Katherine Clark (MA-05), Maxwell Frost (FL-10), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) held a press conference outside the Court denouncing the decision.\n\n\u201cThe lives of over a million TPS holders who cannot return home safely are now at grave risk due to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling on Trump\u2019s unlawful, racist termination of the Temporary Protected Status program,\u201d said Senator Markey. \u201cThe far-right extremist majority on the Court has severed a critical lifeline for people seeking safety and has worsened a humanitarian crisis. We have a moral duty to protect TPS holders and to provide this vulnerable group a permanent pathway to citizenship. We must continue the fight to protect our neighbors.\u201d\n\nSenator Markey has worked consistently to protect TPS for Haiti and support the Haitian community in Massachusetts amid the Trump administration\u2019s attacks on TPS and Haitians. In September 2025, Senator Markey led an amicus brief in Miot v. Trump, the companion case to Mullin v. Doe, when the case was before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In February 2026, Senator Markey applauded the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia\u2019s decision to pause the Trump administration\u2019s termination of TPS for Haiti, which was set to expire on February 3. In March, Senator Markey welcomed the D.C. Circuit\u2019s ruling blocking the Trump administration from immediately terminating TPS for Haiti.\n\nIn January 2026, Senator Markey and Rep. Pressley held a field hearing at Jubilee Christian Church in Mattapan to highlight the importance of extending TPS for Haiti. The lawmakers heard from panels of individuals, advocates, and community leaders impacted by the Trump administration\u2019s decision to end Haiti TPS.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-26T06:29:35Z", "2026-06-26T06:31:46Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-markey-condemns-us-supreme-courts-ruling-effectively-ending-temporary-protected-status-tps-for-haiti-and-other-countries"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5025909524410963, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
