Supreme court hands Trump administration big win with rulings on key immigration cases - live
The Supreme Court issued several rulings favoring the Trump administration, including the removal of temporary protected status for Haitians and Syrians and the ability to turn back asylum seekers at the border. The court also struck down a Hawaii gun law that restricted carrying firearms in public spaces.
Why it matters
These rulings represent significant shifts in US immigration policy and gun control jurisprudence, impacting thousands of individuals and state-level regulatory authority.
The supreme court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s bid to strip temporary protected status (TPS) from hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians, who were legally in the US and protected from deportation. In another boost to Donald Trump’s unprecedented hardline crackdown on immigrants, including many who have lived legally in the US for years, the court issued a 6-3 ruling powered by its conservative-leaning majority. The decision leaves Haitians and Syrians in the US on TPS vulnerable to deportation even if they have applications for other forms of immigration status in progress.
The framing uses emotive language like 'betrayal of our values' and 'hardline crackdown' to describe the court's decisions.
