Supreme Court allows Trump admin to move ahead with ending protected legal status for some migrants
Print Close By Breanne Deppisch Published May 19, 2025 The Supreme Court on Monday lifted an injunction against the Trump administration, allowing it to move ahead, for now, with its plans to end protections for hundreds of thousands of migrants in the U.S. The decision is a victory for the Trump administration, allowing it to move forward with its plans to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for hundreds of thousands of people who came to the U.S. through parole processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. The TPS program provides legal status and work permits for these individuals. This is a breaking news story. Updates to come. Print Close URL

Supreme Court hears challenge to Trump's birthright citizenship order in major case
Print Close By Breanne Deppisch, Shannon Bream, Bill Mears Published May 15, 2025 The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Thursday on a challenge to President Donald Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, and crucially, whether lower courts that have blocked Trump's policies from taking force nationwide have acted beyond their authority. Any decision from the 6–3 conservative majority could have sweeping implications for Trump's presidency as his lawyers spar against an onslaught of lawsuits in federal courts nationwide. The Supreme Court arguments are expected to focus on lower court judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state who issued "universal" injunctions against Trump's birthright citizenship executive order earlier this year. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court in March to intervene and limit the scope of three lower court rulings to cover only individuals directly impacted by the relevant courts (or potentially, the 22 states that challenged Trump's executive order). But that's unlikely to be the primary theme at the center of Thursday's high-profile debate. 100 DAYS OF INJUNCTIONS, TRIALS AND 'TEFLON DON': TRUMP SECOND TERM MEETS ITS BIGGEST TESTS IN COURT Rather, justices are expected to use the oral arguments to weigh the authority of lower courts to issue nationwide, or "universal" injunctions blocking presidential policies — teeing up a high-stakes showdown that pits Trump's Article II powers against Article III courts. The hearing comes as Trump and his allies have railed against so-called "activist" judges, whom they have accused of overstepping their powers and acting politically to block Trump's policies. The president even suggested that a federal judge in Washington, D.C., be impeached for his ruling earlier this year, which prompted a rare public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts. 'ACTIVIST' JUDGES KEEP TRYING TO CURB TRUMP'S AGENDA — HERE'S HOW HE COULD PUSH BACK Trump has signed more than 150 executive orders in his second term, inviting a seemingly unrelenting wave of challenges in court. Many of these orders have been blocked by federal judges across the country, who have restricted Trump's use of a 1798 wartime immigration law to deport certain migrants, ordered the administration to reinstate certain government personnel and sought to impose limits on Elon Musk's government efficiency organization, DOGE, among other orders. While Trump allies accuse these judges of political bias and overreach, others critical of the administration say the courts have not gone far enough to rein in Trump's attempts to expand the executive branch's powers. "The second Trump administration has taken the guardrails off of the norms that historically governed the rule of law, and is undertaking steps to enhance the perceived power of the executive branch to the detriment of the two other co-equal branches," Mark Zaid, a D.C.-based attorney who has sued Trump in several high-profile cases, told Fox News Digitial in an interview to mark his first 100 days in office. FEDERAL JUDGES IN NEW YORK AND TEXAS BLOCK TRUMP DEPORTATIONS AFTER SCOTUS RULING Justices on the Supreme Court will consider a trio of consolidated cases involving nationwide injunctions handed down by federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington state that blocked Trump's ban on birthright citizenship from taking force. CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP But the policy remains widely unpopular. More than 22 U.S. states and immigrants' rights groups have sued the Trump administration to block the change to birthright citizenship, arguing in court filings that the executive order is both unconstitutional and "unprecedented." And to date, no court has sided with the Trump administration's executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship, though multiple district courts have blocked it from taking effect.

Apple and Google restore ability to download TikTok app
Apple and Google have restored access to the TikTok app after removing it briefly last month. The app was removed from mobile stores to comply with a ban on the social media platform following a requirement for the Chinese technology company ByteDance to sell or shut it down. At issue was the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a law passed by Congress last April with wide bipartisan support. The law gave TikTok nine months to either divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, or be removed from U.S.-based app stores and hosting services. Supreme Court Upholds Looming Tiktok Ban Use of the app was restored shortly after it was removed from the app stores due to promises from President Trump to save it, but the ability to download it remained unavailable until Thursday. Trump indicated prior to his election that he was going to extend the time before the law would be in effect so that he could effectively procure a deal that would also protect national security. Read On The Fox Business App Trump Says Fate Of Tiktok Should Be In His Hands When He Returns To White House "The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order," Trump posted on Truth Social. In a statement from the company, they thanked President Trump and said they will work with the administration to find a long-term solution. "We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties for providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive," TikTok stated. Although access to the app has been restored, the status of the law is unresolved and there is still no solution. The app's ownership also has still not been decided.
