The U.S. Supreme Court does not reach unanimous decisions very often, especially when it has something to do with Trump, but it happened today.
The nation’s highest court just ruled in Trump’s favor on immigration and immigration judges, saying that federal courts must defer to rulings by immigration judges. The decision makes it harder for people to abuse our asylum system.
The opinion on this decision was even written by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a liberal Biden appointee.
FOX News reported:
Justice Jackson authors unanimous SCOTUS opinion handing Trump an immigration win
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling Wednesday ordering federal appeals courts to defer to immigration judges when reviewing asylum decisions, bolstering the executive branch’s authority in immigration cases and handing the Trump administration a win as it pushes an aggressive deportation agenda.
Jackson, a Biden appointee and one of three liberal justices on the high court, wrote that immigration laws require federal courts to use a “substantial-evidence standard” when reviewing immigration judges’ decisions about whether an asylum seeker could face “persecution” if deported.
Jackson emphasized the high bar courts must meet before overturning an immigration judge’s findings, potentially making it more difficult for migrants to challenge their deportations as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration.
“The agency’s determination… is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary,’” Jackson wrote.
This is huge news.

Unanimous ruling from SCOTUS.
Dramatically limits the misuse of the asylum process, which is long overdue. https://t.co/b6SH1WJpE6

There isn’t much reporting about this in the liberal media. Isn’t that curious?
