The Supreme Court issued a series of 6-3 rulings this week that significantly expanded the Trump administration's immigration enforcement authority. The court allowed the administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, opening the path to deport hundreds of thousands of people who have lived legally in the United States for years.
In a separate ruling, the court cleared the way for stricter asylum rules that allow the administration to turn away asylum seekers at the southern border who have not yet crossed into U.S. territory. President Trump celebrated the decisions. Immigration advocates warned of mass displacement for long-established communities.
