Supreme Court rules 6-3 in favor of Trump administration on two immigration cases involving TPS terminations and asylum seeker border policy
The U.S. Supreme Court issued two 6-3 rulings on June 26, 2026, along ideological lines, both authored by Justice Samuel Alito. The first allows the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians, finding the TPS statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional claims. The second allows border agents to turn away asylum seekers who have not physically crossed into U.S. territory, ruling that migrants standing in Mexico have not 'arrived in the United States' under federal law.
