Justices Back Trump's Immigration Policies

The justices said the administration may block some asylum claims at the border and end protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.

  • On Thursday, the Supreme Court issued two 6-3 rulings favoring the Trump administration, allowing officials to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitians and Syrians and revive a policy curbing asylum processing at ports of entry.
  • Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinions, interpreting 'arrived' in asylum statutes to require physically crossing the border while affirming the administration's authority to revoke TPS status without extensive interagency consultation.
  • White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson called the decisions a "tremendous win," asserting the administration remains committed to restoring immigration system integrity and that TPS was never intended as a pathway to permanent residency.
  • Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned the TPS ruling as a "cruel and inhumane decision," accusing the Court of turning its back on Haitians and Syrians, while Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that "more people will die."
  • These rulings align with a broader trend where six conservative justices have granted the administration important wins on immigration, including a recent decision permitting the exclusion of green-card holders based on mere suspicion of criminal activity.
