Statement from the Press Secretary [Migrant Protection Protocols]
whitehouse.gov ^ | 3/11/20 | White House Press Secretary

Today’s order from the Supreme Court is a major victory for the Trump Administration. By allowing the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) to remain in effect, the Court has prevented dangerous chaos at the southern border, avoided a significant escalation in public health threats, and mitigated damage to foreign relations. MPP, which faithfully implements section 235(b)(2)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, has been crucial to our success working with Mexico to control rampant illegal migration, smuggling, and cartel-driven human trafficking, all of which present wide-ranging risks to both our countries and to the migrants themselves. Open borders do not serve the American public, and we will always strongly enforce the laws at our borders and airports.

It’s a huge victory and most likely the SCOTUS will vote the right way once the case squirms its way up there.

From what I read yesterday (or was it earlier today, I’ve entered a world where time has no meaning), only Sotomayor was against it.
