The Supreme Court’s 8–1 ruling wasn’t just a legal victory — it was a political earthquake. With both conservative and liberal justices siding with Donald Trump, the decision to lift protections for 300,000 Venezuelan migrants reshaped the immigration debate overnight. For the first time in years, a court once divided by ideology found rare unity in granting sweeping executive power back to the presidency.
In the aftermath, reactions were fierce. Supporters hailed the move as the restoration of law and order, while critics called it a moral retreat from compassion. The dissenting voice of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that America was “setting a precedent that compassion is conditional.” Yet the ruling stands — marking a turning point in how the nation defines mercy, sovereignty, and who truly belongs within its borders.
