In her dissent from one of the Thursday Supreme Court decisions on immigrant rights, Justice Elena Kagan made sure Donald Trump\u2019s litany of racist remarks would be a forever part of the court\u2019s historical record.<\/p>\n

The liberal justice used her dissent in a case where the conservative majority gave the president the legal authority to strip Temporary Protected Status from over 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, among others, to call out the president for his flagrant racism.<\/p>\n

On MS NOW, legal analyst Lisa Rubin read directly from Kagan\u2019s blunt dissent, telling the panel, \u201cJustice Kagan in her dissent doesn’t just summarize the statements from the president and from Kristi Noem, who was then the head of Homeland Security, but makes them plain, and I want to read to you from her dissent because she gathers them up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking at her laptop, she read, \u201c\u2019Haitians are eating the dogs<\/em>, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live in Springfield.\u2019 And \u2018Haitians are also,\u2019 and this is the quote, \u2018eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be.\u2019 And Haitians in the United States, quote, \u2018Probably have AIDS\u2019. And Haiti, is quote, ‘A whole country which is,\u2019 quote, \u2018filthy, dirty and disgusting,\u2019 end quote.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cAnd, Haitian immigration is, quote, \u2018Like a death wish for our country.\u2019 And Haitians, along with some others, are quote, \u2018Poisoning the blood,’ end quote, of our country. And finally, this is a statement from the president that \u2018we only take people from s-hole countries like Haiti and Somalia. Why can’t we have some people from Norway and Sweden?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then she [Kagan] goes back to something that was talked about at oral argument when she asked one of the lawyers for the Haitians, \u2018So it’s not Haiti particularly, it’s all these countries have people of color, as opposed to Denmark and Scandinavia, you know Scandinavia generally, and whatever,\u2019 and the lawyer says, \u2018I certainly think that the record supports the idea that the president in particular, has focused in on Haitians, but it’s broader than that. Haitians are our plaintiffs.\u2019 But the relevant comparison, the relevant group here is all TPS countries all of which are non-white \u2014 and that makes its way into Justice Kagan’s dissent,” Rubin pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority briefly replies that those remarks are not ‘overtly racial,’ but it is hard to know what that means,\u201d , \u201cHaitians are Black. (Norwegians and Swedes not so much.) The references\u2014of filth, disease, and primitiveness\u2014are shot through with racial stereotypes and tropes. It is hard to imagine the statements being made today of any white community.\u201d<\/p>\n
