Trump Wins Supreme Court Victory on Migrant Legal Status

  

President Donald Trump won a resounding victory at the Supreme Court, which upheld his decision to end legal protections granted to hundreds of thousands of migrants in the country. The ruling even had the support of judges traditionally identified with the court's liberal wing, reinforcing the ruling's political reach.

With this decision, the Court lifted a lower court injunction that prevented the president from revoking the protected legal status granted to migrants of various nationalities, many of whom have resided in the United States for decades under programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

The Trump administration argued that these measures were temporary and had been extended without justification by previous administrations, while civil society organizations and immigrant rights advocates warned that the decision will leave entire families in uncertainty, with thousands of workers and students at risk of deportation.

Although the White House celebrated the resolution as a triumph of its immigration policy, the debate surrounding the legality and humanitarian dimension of this measure promises to intensify in Congress and state courts, where new legal challenges could still arise.
