Supreme Court Upholds Executive Authority in Immigration Cases
The 6-3 rulings expand executive power over border processing and TPS terminations, affecting about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued two 6-3 rulings favoring the Trump administration, allowing officials to turn away asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border and terminating Temporary Protected Status for around 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.

- Former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem sought to end TPS for the two groups despite lower courts finding she ignored procedural requirements and acted merely on a whim, citing no lawful process.
- Dissenting, Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the rulings "illogical" and argued the government circumvented mandatory asylum procedures, while advocates warned families will be separated and forced to violence.
- More than 1 million people legally residing in the U.S. could face deportation, while DHS General Counsel James Percival called the decision "a win for the rule of law.
