let me tell you what "the courts cannot stop it" means when SCOTUS says it.. because I'm sure most people don't know..

it means the Ninth Circuit is done..

for years the Ninth Circuit blocked every TPS termination.. every metering policy.. every turnback order.. judges in San Francisco and D.C. issued injunctions the same week DHS tried to enforce anything..

that was the strategy.. not the law.. the injunctions..

on June 25, 2026.. SCOTUS ruled 6-3 in two separate cases.. same day.. same margin.. both times..

case one: federal courts generally cannot review TPS termination decisions.. Kristi Noem's calls are now shielded.. no more injunction shopping..

case two: if you're standing in Mexico you have not "arrived in the United States" under federal law.. no right to apply for asylum.. no mandatory inspection.. no foothold..

and here's what nobody wants to say out loud..

350,000 Haitian TPS holders are now in deportation proceedings with no court able to pause it.. every asylum seeker at every port of entry along 2,000 miles of border is now legally turnable before they take one step onto US soil..

the metering policy was blocked for nearly a decade.. it's back today with Supreme Court backing..

this is the same playbook that ended in 1954 when the court finally gave the executive branch back its immigration authority.. and it took 30 years of litigation to get there..

"the courts cannot stop it" doesn't mean Trump won a policy fight.. it means the legal infrastructure the other side built to slow enforcement for years just got ruled unconstitutional..

two rulings.. one day.. zero injunctions left standing.

I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~

Reporter 1 (Dana): "...and the Supreme Court out with another decision, this time regarding the fate of certain migrants living with Temporary Protected Status. There are a bunch of them, and Shannon Bream joins us again with more. Shannon, how do we read this one?

Shannon Bream: Okay, so Dana we read it as a win for the Trump administration which has wanted to wipe out Temporary Protected Status for more than a million people who are living here in this country.

These cases centered on a number of Haitian and Syrian refugees who are here in the country, and basically what the court has said is that they can't challenge this decision by the Department of Homeland Security, by the Administration, that they're the ones who get to make the assessment about whether they leave or not.

I haven't read the whole thing but they do get into some of the claims that...by some of those who are advocating for the Haitians refugees - that there was some kind of racial animus. The court says they don't see evidence of that.

So I'll keep reading but it's another very fractured decision that seems to be a win for the Trump administration, which would be the second win for them on immigration.

That earlier decision that came out just a few minutes ago saying that if you get to the Mexican border but you don't make it on to US soil, you can't file an assylum claim.

So the Trump administration has to be happy about what they've gotten today. We've still got eight opinions left and it looks like Monday will be our next opinion day.

Grok's summary:

for years the Ninth Circuit blocked every TPS termination.. every metering policy.. every turnback order... judges in

 

• The X post analyzes two June 25, 2026, 6-3 SCOTUS rulings enabling DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to terminate TPS for Haiti and Syria with limited court review, and holding that asylum seekers standing in Mexico have not "arrived in the United States" under immigration law.
• These decisions reverse years of Ninth Circuit and district court injunctions that blocked metering/turnback policies and TPS endings, clearing the way for deportation proceedings against hundreds of thousands of TPS holders and limiting asylum processing at ports of entry.
• The attached Fox News video features reporter Shannon Bream covering the rulings as significant Trump administration victories on asylum policy and protections for Haitian and Syrian nationals.

Just do like morondami in nyc. Supreme court? They’re not the boss of me.

How sad. The Haitians have contributed so much to the rich tapestry that is America, and helped keep down the excess population of dogs, cats, and geese in Ohio

TPS = Temporary Protected Status.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a government protection granted by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to eligible foreign-born individuals who are unable to return home safely due to conditions or circumstances preventing their country from adequately handling the return.

He assumes that they will abide by the SCOTUS ruling. They won’t...........

When mom said “Go ask your dad” and dad said “No”…that was it.

Here’s the trick. Even though they cannot order an injunction or cannot review it the process for stopping the illegal injunction is to go through the courts and to ultimately have some higher judge somewhere affirm and reaffirm the rights of the administration. That process takes time. Proof, the Supreme Court didn’t give the administration the right to do this, the affirmed their right to do it but it took a year. This process can be repeated over and over again. They have figured out how to slow the admin to a grind and this will continue unless the Trump administration is willing to affirm and asset their own rights.

some of those who are advocating for the Haitians refugees

We got a weaselly (GOPe) governor (DeWhine), here in Ohio, who advocates for the Hattians. And his former progressive pro-abortion director of Ohio Health, that shutdown the state for Covid until she was run off, is running for Governor.

[Organic Panic]

Indeed. Haitians are so valuable and hard working which is why Haiti is a thriving tropical,paradise with a massive economy....

Oh wait.

[Rowdyone]

If a President can award Protected Status it’s logical that another President can revoke Protected Status. And, how can you create an indefinite Protected Status without legislation?

For years the Ninth Circuit blocked every TPS termination.. every metering policy.. every turnback order.. judges in San/Fran and DC issued injunctions the same week DHS tried to enforce anything.

So when the USSC says “the courts cannot stop it,” that means the Ninth Circuit is done.
