President Donald Trump scored major victories in two Supreme Court decisions issued Thursday that will allow him to ramp up his ongoing crackdown on the border and illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

The high court ruled that the federal government could turn away migrants seeking asylum at ports of entry, rejecting arguments that federal law requires officials to process every migrant who arrives at the border seeking asylum. In a separate ruling, the court opened the door for the Trump administration to proceed with its plans to terminate the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 350,000 Haitian immigrants and 6,000 Syrians from deportation.<\/p>\n

The court\u2019s two 6-3 decisions were made along ideological lines.<\/p>\n

In its decision on TPS, the court rejected claims that the Trump administration\u2019s decisions with regards to Haitians specifically were based on racial animus.<\/p>\n

\u201cCiting statements made by President Trump and former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, one set of respondents advances an equal protection claim that Haiti\u2019s TPS designation was terminated because of the racial makeup of that country\u2019s population,\u201d Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, ironically, one of respondents\u2019 other arguments undermines the equal protection claim by offering a strong, race-neutral explanation for Haiti\u2019s termination: namely, that the current administration, which has terminated every TPS designation that has come up for renewal, simply opposes the TPS program, at least as it has been implemented in the past,\u201d Alito added.<\/p>\n

Both groups, who have been shielded from deportation for over a decade, now \u201chave to leave\u201d the United States since they will lose their legal status, Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, told The Daily Wire.<\/p>\n

Many of the Haitian and Syrian nationals have yet to receive deportation orders and will likely remain in the United States until they are formally ordered removed by an immigration judge.<\/p>\n

Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) New York Field Office Deputy Director Scott Mechkowski said they\u2019re not all yet targets of Trump\u2019s mass deportation effort and that the process will take time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cases get worked the way every other case gets worked, by priority, starting with criminal records and prior removal orders,\u201d Mechkowski said.<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s second term commenced, the president has sought to end TPS for 13 of the 17 countries with such protections. Only four \u2014 El Salvador, Lebanon, Sudan, and Ukraine \u2014 remain covered by the program, NPR reported.<\/p>\n

White House border czar Tom Homan celebrated the ruling, saying the protections were abused.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this since 1984. TPS has never been temporary. That\u2019s why the whole statute exists: temporarily give people protection while their country\u2019s in turmoil or after they suffer a hurricane. The problem is no administration has had the guts to actually follow that statute,\u201d Homan said.<\/p>\n

In the court\u2019s ruling on the border, federal authorities will be able to turn back asylum seekers who are in Mexico and don\u2019t actually set foot on American soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe consequences of this are if the administration closes the border \u2026 folks who are kept from crossing the line cannot make any claims that they\u2019ve got a right to be in the United States,\u201d von Spakovsky said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt literally means stepping over the border line between the two countries. If you are one foot across the U.S. border, you\u2019ve arrived in the U.S.,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, federal officers at the border screened migrants and generally allowed those who expressed a fear of persecution into the country for further processing. Even if the fear claim was rejected during an initial interview with an asylum officer, the migrant could choose to have their case heard in an immigration court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn ordinary speech, no one would say that a person \u2018arrives in\u2019 a place \u2014 for example, a house, a city, or a country \u2014 before the person enters that place,\u201d Alito wrote in the majority opinion.<\/p>\n

The Center for Immigration Studies\u2019 Andrew \u201cArt\u201d Arthur, a former immigration judge, said the ruling \u201creaffirms the fact that we don\u2019t have to let everybody in,\u201d adding, \u201cWe do have the ability to actively keep them out.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to an overwhelming influx of migrant crossings in 2016, the Obama administration began employing the practice of rejecting asylum seekers at the border through the process, which is known as \u201cmetering.\u201d Lower courts eventually blocked the practice before Trump revived it, according to NPR.<\/p>\n
