Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the East. It has been the promise of America

since before our founding that we as Americans will serve as a beacon for those seeking refuge

from other parts around the world. But today, Donald Trump's Supreme Court destroyed that

promise, effectively slamming

our doors to those who need us most. In a pair of rulings, the Supreme Court dismantled the asylum

system as we know it, permitting Donald Trump functionally to end temporary protected status for

hundreds of thousands of refugees from Haiti and Syria.

The decision has implications for refugees from at least a dozen more countries.

They dealt to strike a blow to the ability of refugees to claim asylum in this country at all.

Both decisions were split six three along ideological lines with all three liberal justices dissenting.

The liberal justices do not hold back in articulating their outrage and their dissent.

Here's Justice Kagan on the role of race in Donald Trump's decision to end temporary protected status for certain countries.

The justice writes this, quote, the majority claims to see no evidence that race played

any role in the Haiti decision, but the evidence is there plain to see in the president's

statements, which the majority, and for that matter, his own lawyers, cannot even bear to

repeat.

So here are some of those statements. Haitians in the United

States, quote, probably have AIDS. And Haiti is a, quote, shithole country, which is, quote,

filthy, dirty and disgusting. And Haitian immigration is, quote, like a death wish for our country.

And Haitians, along with some others, are, quote, poisoning the blood of our country.

And this, quote, why is it we only take people from shithole countries like Haiti and Somalia?

Why cannot we have some people from Norway and Sweden?
