President Donald Trump achieved a major victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, winning support from justices usually seen as liberal.

In an 8–1 decision, the Court lifted a lower-court injunction that had blocked the administration from ending the legal protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, appointed by President Joe Biden, was the sole dissenter.

The ruling allows the Trump administration to move forward with ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for roughly 300,000 Venezuelan migrants. Administration lawyers said the decision “grants the legal authority to begin deportations immediately,” though the real-world and humanitarian consequences remain unclear.

This case is part of a larger national debate on immigration policy and executive power. It raises questions about the future of TPS programs and how far the government can go in controlling immigration.

The decision also shows a rare moment of agreement across ideological lines on the Court, highlighting both the legal complexity and the significance of the ruling.
