On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued three major rulings that dramatically reshape immigration law. These decisions expand the executive branch’s power to deport immigrants while limiting federal courts’ ability to protect asylum seekers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and even Lawful Permanent Residents (Green Card holders). For many families and businesses, especially in Texas, these changes create urgent legal challenges.

This post breaks down the three landmark cases, explains who is affected, and offers practical advice on what steps to take now to safeguard your immigration status.

Mullin v. Doe: Cutting Judicial Protections for TPS Holders

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) provides relief to immigrants from countries experiencing conflict or disaster. The Supreme Court’s ruling in Mullin v. Doe removes key judicial protections for TPS holders facing deportation.

Before this decision, federal courts could review deportation orders to ensure TPS holders were not wrongly removed. Now, the Court limits this oversight, allowing the executive branch to deport TPS holders more quickly and with fewer checks.

What this means:

TPS holders must act swiftly to renew status and gather evidence supporting their eligibility.
Legal challenges against deportation orders will face higher hurdles.
Families relying on TPS should consult immigration attorneys immediately to understand their options.

Mullin v. Al Otro Lado: Closing the Door on Border Asylum

The second ruling, Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, restricts asylum seekers’ ability to seek protection at the U.S. border. The Court upheld policies that make it harder for individuals fleeing persecution to present their claims.

This decision:

Limits federal courts from intervening in expedited removal processes.
Allows immigration officials to deny asylum claims without thorough judicial review.
Increases the risk of deportation for vulnerable asylum seekers.

For those seeking asylum, this ruling means the window to present a credible claim has narrowed significantly. It is critical to understand the new procedures and deadlines to avoid missing the chance to apply for protection.

Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau: Speeding Up Deportations for Green Card Holders

The third case, Blanche v. Muk Choi Lau, affects Lawful Permanent Residents by fast-tracking their deportations. Even Green Card holders with long-term residency can now face quicker removal if accused of certain offenses.

Key points include:

Reduced opportunities for judicial review in deportation cases.
Increased executive authority to remove permanent residents without extended hearings.
Greater urgency for Green Card holders with any criminal allegations to seek legal counsel.

This ruling challenges the assumption that permanent residency guarantees long-term security. Green Card holders should review their status and any legal risks with an immigration lawyer.

What About Birthright Citizenship?

Despite these sweeping rulings, the Court has not yet ruled on Executive Order 14160, which aims to end automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented or temporary visa holders. That case, Trump v. Barbara, remains pending.

Until the Court issues a decision, birthright citizenship remains protected under the 14th Amendment. The Daniels Legal Group PLLC is closely monitoring developments and offers immediate defense planning for affected families.
