WATCH: AOC accuses Trump of ‘betrayal’ after Supreme Court immigration rulings

By Fox News · Fox News

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused President Donald Trump of a "betrayal" after the Supreme Court handed his administration a pair of immigration wins involving Temporary Protected Status and asylum claims. The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for Haitian and Syrian migrants, clearing the way for the administration to remove legal protections that have allowed many Haitians to remain and work in the U.S. since Haiti’s 2010 earthquake and many Syrians since the country’s civil war prompted a TPS designation in 2012. Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told Fox News Digital the TPS decision targets the very people Trump supporters were told would not be the focus of his aggressive immigration deportation agenda. SUPREME COURT HANDS TRUMP TWO MAJOR IMMIGRATION VICTORIES "I think it's really sad because these decisions are targeting exactly the kind of people that Republican voters said that they did not want targeted in the Trump administration's immigration policy," Ocasio-Cortez said. She argued the ruling marked "a reversal of President Trump's promise to only go after, quote unquote, criminals and rapists." "This decision to overturn TPS targets nurses, it targets health care workers, it targets domestic workers, cleaners, people who work in restaurants," she said, calling it "a real betrayal of President Trump's promise." Ocasio-Cortez also argued the ruling would hurt U.S. citizens by raising prices, making it harder to find workers, while also breaking up longstanding communities. House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., criticized Trump and Republicans over the asylum ruling, saying the president has "time and time again" attacked a process that has been part of U.S. law for decades. "People are fleeing terrible conditions and they have a lawful right to declare asylum," Aguilar said.
