Sen. Eric Schmitt Calls on DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin to ‘Move Fast’ and Deport Hundreds of Thousands Under TPS

Senator Eric Schmitt has urged Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to expedite the deportation process for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is now at risk following a Supreme Court ruling. Schmitt's push comes as he believes the legal landscape has shifted, making it time to act decisively on this issue. This move is significant as TPS provides temporary relief for individuals from countries experiencing ongoing crises, and Schmitt's call indicates a potential major shift in immigration policy under current administration priorities.
