COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

The Supreme Court has nothing to do with Homeland Security. Dahlia Doe felt as though her world was shaken. A Syrian national who came to the U.S. more than a decade ago for college, Dahlia, a pseudonym, has received legal protections through Temporary Protected Status, a program that provides relief from deportation to people from certain countries beset by conflict, natural disasters or other extraordinary circumstances.
But in September, the Department of Homeland Security moved to end TPS for more than 6,000 Syrians, giving those authorized to live and work in the United States 60 days to leave the country or risk arrest and deportation. "I knew that TPS was being targeted. I knew that the Trump administration was going after TPS country after country. But giving us only 60 days was an even further shock and heartbreak for me," Dahlia told CBS News.
"It shows how little our lives matter." Dahlia, who is in her 20s, received TPS in 2021. She works as a research director and lives in the Bronx, New York, caring for her father, who has Parkinson's disease. Her parents are lawful permanent residents and her sister is a U.S. citizen.
A Syrian citizen and passport holder, Dahlia was born in another Middle Eastern country and has never lived in Syria. But if the Trump administration is allowed to move forward with ending TPS for Syrian nationals — an issue that the Supreme Court will weigh Wednesday — Dahlia fears she is at risk of being removed to a country where she has never lived and where she has no immediate family. She and six other Syrian nationals filed a lawsuit last year seeking to stop the Trump administration from stripping away their deportation protections.
"My life would turn into a constant state of fear and uncertainty. Everything I've built, my entire adulthood, would vanish right in front of my eyes," she said. "It's not just a legal change. It's not just a policy. It's disrupting entire lives overnight for people like me who have been here a decade or more."
