Democrats across the country are up in arms over the Supreme Court’s decision last week, in Mullin v Doe, which allows the Trump administration to follow through on its plans to send back hundreds of thousands of temporary refugees from Haiti and Syria.

The debate over temporary protected status for refugees hinges on that first first word, "temporary," and it is reasonable for Americans, who bear the brunt of caring for these refugees, to ask what it actually means.

For his part, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who appears to be the communist leader of the national Democratic Party these days, had this to say: "The Supreme Court just sparked one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. In one fell swoop, thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home."
