‘Go back to f—ing Haiti’

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly offered a clear message to thousands of Haitians and Syrians protected from deportation under a form of humanitarian aid after the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration could end those protections.

“We don’t want you. We don’t care if you’re offended,” Kelly said during the taping of the SiriusXM show. “Get out. Go home. Go back to Haiti.”

The high court ruled this week that the Trump administration can cut temporary legal protections for Haitians and Syrians under the Temporary Protective Service (TPS). This policy protects citizens of certain countries from deportation and offers them a path to a work permit.

The White House celebrated the decision on Thursday as a “tremendous victory for the Trump administration.”

“Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what President Trump has always advocated: temporary protected status is, by definition, temporary,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to The Hill. he said.

More than a million people may soon become eligible for deportation as a result of this decision, as the Trump administration has threatened to remove these protections from 13 of the 17 countries on this list.

Haitian and Syrian citizens were protected under TPS due to concerns of unrest in their respective countries. As of March 2025, the United States provided TPS protection to 330,735 Haitians and 6,100 Syrians. Congressional Research Service.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs set designated both Haiti and Syria as “Level 4” travel advisories and recommended that Americans “do not travel” to those countries due to unrest and crime.

“Go home. Go out. We know our country is better than yours,” Kelly said on Thursday’s show. “Because we filled it with our work ethic, our culture and our values. Your presence here only dilutes it for us, for those who built it and for those who live in it.”

Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) said at a news conference outside the Supreme Court on Thursday that she was “surprised” by the decision and called it “cruel and unlawful.”

Some Republicans have joined with Democrats in opposing the Trump administration’s efforts to end these humanitarian protections.

Rep. Mike Lawler (R-Y) warned that the move could “create a crisis,” while Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) said the decision could result in the deportation of more than 10,000 Haitians currently living in Ohio.

“Today’s decision is a legal decision,” DeWine said in a statement Thursday. “As I have stated in the past, the policy of removing these people from this country is a mistake.”
