    The Supreme Court issued its decision, holding that asylum seekers turned away at the border have not 'arrived in' the U.S. and thus may be denied the chance to apply for asylum.

    The justices hear arguments in the birthright citizenship case; President Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Supreme Court argument in person.

  4. Trump Administration Appeals to Supreme Court

    The Trump administration sought to revive the turnback policy, petitioning the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court injunctions and arguing that the executive branch needed the tool to manage border surges.

6-3 SCOTUS Redefines Asylum 'Arrival,' Letting US Turn Away Migrants at Ports

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision on June 25, 2026, narrowed the statutory interpretation of 'arrives in' under the Immigration and Nationality Act, ruling that asylum seekers turned away at the border have not triggered the legal right to apply. The ruling gives the executive branch broad authority to block asylum applications at ports of entry, upending decades of administrative practice and raising complex due process and international law questions for immigration attorneys and corporate compliance teams.

6-3 SCOTUS Rejects Trump Birthright Edict: 14th Amendment Precedent Stands

The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Trump’s attempt to curb birthright citizenship, anchoring the decision in the 128-year-old Wong Kim Ark precedent. Chief Justice Roberts’ opinion reinforces constitutional limits on executive power, while a concurrence and dissent expose doctrinal fault lines. Any path forward now lies with Congress—or a near-impossible constitutional amendment.

Supreme Court's 5-4 Ruling Reaffirms Birthright Citizenship, Kavanaugh's Statutory Path Opens Debate

The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Trump v. Barbara declares Executive Order 14160 unconstitutional, cementing the Fourteenth Amendment's broad birthright citizenship guarantee. Justice Kavanaugh's concurrence, however, suggests Congress might legislate changes, creating a new front for immigration law practitioners.
