- 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.

- 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.
