Trump scores two major immigration wins at Supreme Court

By BREANNE DEPPISCH, US SENIOR POLITICAL REPORTER Published: 15:34, 25 June 2026 | Updated: 15:57, 25 June 2026 The Supreme Court on Thursday handed Donald Trump two rare wins in a huge victory for his strict immigration agenda.  The Court cleared the way for Trump to revoke temporary protections for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals living in the United States - siding with the president on one of the most closely watched and consequential immigration cases this term. And the Justices also decided to give Trump more authority to limit asylum seekers in the US coming from Mexico. Combined, the rulings represent a significant victory for the Trump administration as it seeks to crack down on the President's hardline immigration enforcement agenda, including for asylum seekers.  The high court ruled 6-3 that the courts cannot review the Haitian and Syrian nationals' non-constitutional claims, because the TPS statute bars judicial review.  US President Donald Trump is seen in France.
