Supreme Court Hands Trump Immigration Wins

The Supreme Court delivered two major victories to President Trump’s immigration agenda on Thursday, ruling that his administration could block asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border and strip temporary protected status from hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals.

The 6-3 decisions, split along ideological lines, affirmed expansive executive authority over immigration and national security.

Stephen Miller, architect of the administration's restrictive policies, demanded the court go further and rule unanimously to overturn birthright citizenship.

The rulings leave long-term resident populations facing potential deportation to countries that remain unsafe, drawing international criticism and outcry from human rights organizations.
