Supreme Court Upholds Trump Asylum Limits and Blocks Court Review of Temporary Protected Status Cuts

The Supreme Court issues two major rulings that uphold the Trump administration's limits on asylum and bar courts from reviewing terminations of Temporary Protected Status.In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado the Court rules that people who wait outside US borders do not "arrive" and therefore can be denied asylum processing at the southern border.In Mullin v. Doe the Court holds that judges cannot review the process used to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian refugees, rejecting claims about racial animus tied to Donald Trump.Justice Samuel Alito reads the majority while Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivers a rare oral dissent invoking the MS St. Louis and warning of humanitarian harm as the Court prepares more rulings on birthright citizenship and presidential authority.
