Supreme Court says Trump has the green light on ending TPS

Original version ·

The highest court in the land just decided that some presidential decisions are basically immune to second-guessing by judges.

So, the Supreme Court just made it official: if a president wants to pull the plug on Temporary Protected Status for folks from places like Syria or Haiti, that is entirely their call. The judges basically threw their hands up and said this isn't a legal fight they can touch.

Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the law gives the executive branch total, unreviewable power to dump these programs. No oversight, no court intervention, just a straight line to the exit.

The courts are effectively washing their hands of immigration policy debates.
