The U.S. Supreme Court this week issued three immigration decisions with sweeping legal implications. In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court upheld CBP "metering" — stationing agents at the borderline to exclude asylum seekers from ports of entry — as lawful. A second 6-3 ruling allows DHS to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian nationals without judicial review. A third decision lowers the evidentiary threshold for stripping green card holders of residency status at ports of entry.

Firms advising on workforce immigration should update risk disclosures and travel protocols immediately for affected nationals.
