The Supreme Court has issued rulings that largely uphold President Trump's executive authority, thereby expanding presidential power. In a significant decision, the court rejected Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, a policy that would have altered the status of children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. However, the administration received approval to terminate temporary protections previously afforded to migrants from Haiti and Syria. These protections, known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), allowed individuals from designated countries facing unsafe conditions to reside and work in the United States. The termination of these protections means that individuals from Haiti and Syria may face deportation proceedings.
