Supreme Court rulings weaken asylum, green card, and TPS protections for immigrants
July 13, 2026
The U.S. Supreme Court largely sided with the Trump administration in a series of immigration rulings, limiting asylum claims at the border, giving officers more power over green card holders facing criminal charges, and undermining Temporary Protected Status protections for over a million immigrants. The court did strike down Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. Legal experts say the rulings collectively make it easier for the government to remove or bar entry for noncitizens.
