Supreme Court Expands Trump’s Power Over Immigration

The court handed President Trump victories in his push to rescind deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of people and turn away migrants at the southern border.

In a pair of sharply divided decisions on Thursday, the Supreme Court allowed President Trump’s aggressive crackdown on immigration to move forward, permitting the administration to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants from the country and to turn away others at the southern border.

Taken together, the opinions from the court’s conservative majority signaled deference to the president’s ability to set the nation’s immigration policy, as the justices prepare in the coming days to issue more rulings that will decide how much power to give Mr. Trump across his boundary-pushing agenda.

In one ruling on Thursday, the justices allowed the Trump administration to end humanitarian protections that have permitted people from Haiti and Syria to live and work legally in the United States for more than a decade.

I don't know about you guys, but there's nothing I love more than when these little lefty punk thugs think they're going to go t court and roll over us, then end up in a far worse position than if they'd done nothing at all.

Schadenfreude with a couple of cherries on top. The only thing that would make it better would be to follow up with a couple a raps with a baton upside their heads every time they lost.

The Supreme Court did not 'expand' the Federal Executive's power over immigration ... it re-affirmed the powers it had all along.

The Supreme Court shrank the powers over immigration claimed by those who never had them.

I like the way you worded that!
