In one decision, the court gave the administration approval to begin deporting hundreds of thousands of Haitians who have lived and worked legally in the United States under Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for years (NPR). The ruling removes a major obstacle to mass deportations that immigration advocates had been fighting in lower courts.
The court also handed the administration another victory by allowing officials to turn away asylum seekers at the border before they can apply for protection. By a 6-3 vote, justices ruled that federal law permits denying entry to those seeking asylum who have not yet physically entered the country (NPR). The decision effectively ends the practice of processing asylum claims from individuals encountered near U.S. borders.
The rulings come as the court prepares to issue its opinion in a case challenging Trump's executive order that would end birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants (Salon, STAT News). The decision could dramatically reshape American immigration policy just days before the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary.
Legal experts warn that ending birthright citizenship could create a public health crisis by increasing the size of the undocumented population and potentially nullifying the citizenship of countless American-born children (STAT News). The case challenges long-standing interpretations of the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which has been understood to grant citizenship to all children born in the U.S. regardless of their parents' status.
