The day after the decision allowing the Trump administration to end TPS for Haitians, comments by the American commentator sparked a wave of criticism on social media and among migrant advocates.
American political commentator Megyn Kelly is at the center of a heated controversy after making remarks considered offensive toward Haitian beneficiaries of Temporary Protected Status, the day after a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to end this immigration protection.During her show on Thursday, Megyn Kelly welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision before declaring: “Go back to f*cking Haiti.”
These remarks, widely relayed on social networks and in several American media, come in a context of strong polarization around migration issues in the United States.
The Supreme Court’s decision allows the Trump administration to enforce its policy of ending TPS granted to several nationalities, including Haitians, while legal proceedings continue in lower courts.
