What you'll learn
- 1 (00:30) **The Supreme Court's Immigration Rulings** - Shapiro introduces two 6-3 Supreme Court decisions that upheld Trump-era immigration policies, framing them as a test of the Court's proper role versus the left's desire for it to act as a super-legislature.
- 2 (04:10) **Case One: "Metering" at the Southern Border (Mullen v. Lado)** - The Court rules 6-3 that an alien "arrives in the United States" only when they physically cross the border, not when they are waiting in Mexico.
- 3 (10:50) **Case Two: Terminating Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria** - The Court rules 6-3 that the president has unreviewable authority to end TPS designations, as the law provides "no judicial review" of such decisions.
