吳弭呼籲國會立即立法，為TPS持有者提供永久居留及入籍的明確管道，並以海地克里奧爾語（Haitian Creole）作結：「Ansanm, nou pi fò」——「團結一心，我們更強大」。 （更新版）
MAYOR MICHELLE WU STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT TEMPORARY PROTECED STATUS RULING
BOSTON - Thursday, June 25, 2025 - Mayor Michelle Wu releases the following statement:
“The City of Boston condemns this decision by Donald Trump’s enablers on the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the administration to end protections for TPS holders. This ruling is as cruel as it is lawless. The justices have ignored the findings of our own government in a decision that will put lives in grave danger.
Here in Boston, thousands of Haitians live and work under Temporary Protected Status. Families have built their lives here, and our communities are better for it. They care for our loved ones, teach our little ones, staff our hospitals, drive our buses, and lead us in worship. Above all: they are our neighbors, and this is their home.
America has needed serious immigration reform for over a generation. Instead of doing the hard work to improve the asylum system and create pathways to citizenship, the Trump Administration is targeting people who came here seeking safety from violence. Today this politically-motivated attack was given legal blessing by the MAGA majority on the court.
Boston will never back down from protecting our neighbors. We urge Congress to act now to provide permanent solutions and a pathway to citizenship for TPS holders. Ansanm, nou pi fò.”
Statement from Governor Maura Healey on Supreme Court Decision Allowing Termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians
Governor Healey, AG Campbell to hold press conference at 2:30 pm today at Massachusetts State House
BOSTON – Governor Maura Healey today released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's decision allowing President Trump to move forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrians:
“Today's decision upholding Donald Trump’s cruel and harmful policy makes absolutely no sense and only serves to hurt our immigrant families, our communities, and our economy. Massachusetts stands with our Haitian and Syrian communities today and every day.
“Donald Trump is ripping away protections from families and children who have fled devastating earthquakes, violence and other humanitarian crises to build safe, productive lives here in Massachusetts and across the country. These are people who are raising families, paying taxes, caring for our loved ones, opening businesses and filling critical jobs. Haitian and Syrian immigrants are our neighbors, coworkers, caregivers, health care workers, business owners and friends. They have become part of the fabric of our communities and a foundation of our economy. They deserve better than this, and I know our country is better than this.
“My administration is reviewing the full implications of this decision and will continue working closely with Attorney General Campbell, community organizations, employers and state agencies to support affected families. Massachusetts will continue standing up for all of our communities and the values that make our state and our country so strong."
Governor Healey and Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell will be holding a press conference today at 2:30 pm in room 157 of the Massachusetts State House in response to this ruling. The press conference will also be livestreamed on YouTube.
Massachusetts is home to one of the largest Haitian communities in the United States, and Haitian TPS holders contribute significantly to the state's workforce and economy, including in health care, elder care, hospitality, education and other critical industries. Today’s decision also impacts Syrians in the United States under TPS. Previous decisions have impacted Central Americans, Venezuelans, and others who cannot return safely to their countries and continue to need these protections.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration is reviewing the Court's decision and coordinating with state agencies, community organizations and legal service providers to provide accurate information and support to impacted individuals and families. Impacted individuals are encouraged to seek guidance from trusted legal service providers regarding their specific circumstances. Additional information and resources for impacted individuals, families and employers will be made available through the Healey-Driscoll Administration and Attorney General's Office at mass.gov/immigrantresources.
Statement from Senate President Karen E. Spilka on the Supreme Court's Ruling to End Temporary Protected Status
(BOSTON—6/25/2026) Today, Senate President Karen Spilka made the following statement regarding the Supreme Court's ruling to end Temporary Protected Status.
"America is strongest when it protects those seeking our help—not when it turns them away.
As the grandchild of immigrants who came here fleeing political violence, I am deeply saddened and outraged at the Supreme Court's decision to allow the Trump Administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian residents.
Temporary Protected Status was created to provide hope and relief to those fleeing nations devastated by war, natural disasters, or political collapse. Today's ruling places families at risk of immediate harm and destabilizes communities across the country, including right here at home.
I stand with our immigrant neighbors, and call on Congress to act to uphold the values of compassion and freedom that make America truly great — and restore these protections."
