The Trump administration relied on the Supreme Court to advance its immigration policies. While most initiatives were upheld, birthright citizenship remained a contentious issue. The court's role underscores its influence on immigration law.

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued pivotal rulings on immigration policies while delivering mixed legal outcomes for Donald Trump's administration. Though rejecting Trump's birthright citizenship order, the Court allowed most of his strict border controls and deportation measures to stand. These decisions come as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) terminations threaten over 1.3 million immigrants, including Haitian medical professionals like Uthy who fled crisis conditions. The rulings demonstrate both the limits and successes of Trump's immigration crackdown. CBC News+4
