The ruling highlights the limitations of presidential power in deploying military forces domestically.

The Supreme Court upheld the federal government’s “metering” policy, which allows Customs and Border Patrol to turn back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The 6-3 decision, written by Justice Alito, found that the policy does not violate federal law, as asylum seekers have not “arrived in” the United States until they physically enter. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissented, arguing the ruling creates perverse incentives for illegal entry and disregards the intent of the Refugee Act of 1980.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Mullin v. Doe that the federal government can remove protections for Haitian and Syrian citizens under the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program.

Justice Kagan dissented, arguing that the statute allows for review of procedural violations and that racial bias influenced the decision to end TPS for Haiti.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that a federal law barring the president from firing members of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) violates the separation of powers.

This ruling could significantly impact the independence of numerous multi-member agencies, shifting power towards the presidency.
