MIAMI (AP) — The Supreme Court ’s decision allowing President Donald Trump’s administration to end temporary legal protections for Haitian and Syrian immigrants may affect people from many other countries. Thursday´s decision directly applies to about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians but may be a sign of what´s in store for nearly 1.3 million people from 17 countries on Temporary Protected Status. Many have lived and worked in the United States for decades and have American children. Aside from Haitians, large numbers of beneficiaries are from Venezuela, El Salvador, Ukraine and Honduras.
