Supreme Court Guts Judicial Review of TPS, Revives Asylum 'Metering' in Same-Day Rulings
In two companion 6-3 rulings issued the same day, June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court held in Mullin v. Doe that DHS's compliance with the law in terminating Temporary Protected Status is not judicially reviewable at all, ending TPS for roughly 350,000 Haitians and 4,000 Syrians and clearing the way to overturn stays protecting Venezuelan, Somali, and Ethiopian TPS holders. In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court held DHS can physically block asylum seekers at ports of entry before they reach US soil, reviving the 'metering' practice courts had ruled unlawful in 2022 and 2024. Justice Sotomayor dissented from the bench: 'More people will die... More people will turn back and be subjected to violence.'
