Media Tip Sheet: Supreme Court Immigration Rulings


June 26, 2026

WASHINGTON (June 26, 2026) – The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in two key immigration cases. These cases allowed the administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of migrants and open the door to reviving a policy limiting access to asylum seekers at the U.S./Mexico border. These decisions mark a significant expansion of executive authority over immigration policy.

For expert insight on these rulings, consider Tania N. Valdez. Valdez, a law professor and lawyer, researches the inadequacies of protections for noncitizens under current immigration enforcement. Her scholarship has been published in the Notre Dame Law Review, the Washington University Law Review, the Boston College Law Review, and others.
