500,000 Immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela at Risk | SC backs Trump’s ANTI-IMMIGRANT policies

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship. #SupremeCourt #ImmigrationPolicy #Trump #BidenEraRollback #HumanitarianParole #MigrantRights #Deportation #SCOTUSRuling #LatinAmericaMigrants #ParoleProgram #ImmigrationReform #JacksonDissent #Sotomayor #USImmigration #Cuba #Haiti #Nicaragua #Venezuela #LegalStatus #HomelandSecurity #BirthrightCitizenship #TrumpImmigration #ImmigrationCrisis #SCOTUSWatch #BidenPolicy #ImmigrationDebate #USBorderCrisis #MigrantDeportation #FederalLaw #SupremeCourtNews Also Read Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc Government Evaluates Impeachment Motion Against Justice Yashwant Varma Amid Probe Findings :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/government-weighs-impeachment-motion-against-justice-varma-011-4165553.html?ref=DMDesc Supreme Court Halts Bhushan Power Liquidation Pending JSW Steel's Review Plea :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/supreme-court-halts-bhushan-power-liquidation-pending-jsw-steels-review-plea-4163971.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~

IRAN STRIKES BACK: Parliament CUTS TIES With IAEA Over US-Israel 'Spying' |Khamenei Declares Victory

Iran's Parliament has voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, branding it a "spy tool" of Western powers. The IRGC’s Sepah News confirmed the vote amid fiery debates and nationalistic sloganeering. Iranian leaders accuse the IAEA of siding with the U.S. and Israel, endangering national sovereignty. Supreme Leader Khamenei declared a "decisive victory" over Western pressure, while Russia’s Foreign Minister warned the IAEA to maintain neutrality. As Tehran escalates its stance, tensions over nuclear transparency and geopolitical influence deepen. #Iran #IAEA #IranParliament #NuclearTensions #Khamenei #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews Also Read Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Iran on Wednesday admitted that U.S. and Israeli strikes caused severe damage to its nuclear facilities, validating President Trump’s claim of “complete obliteration.” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei confirmed “significant damage” while refusing to share specifics.

Trump Scores JUDICIAL VICTORY As SCOTUS Bars Judges’ Powers |Citizenship War LOOMS for 150K Newborns

In a 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major judicial win, curbing federal judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies. Trump celebrated the ruling as a “monumental victory” for the Constitution, potentially clearing the path for sweeping policy moves, including controversial immigration actions. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor slammed the decision as a threat to the rule of law, warning it could erode judicial checks. While Trump’s birthright citizenship order remains blocked, the new ruling shifts the legal battlefield dramatically in his favor. #Trump #SupremeCourt #TrumpSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtRuling #SCOTUS #SupremeCourtNews #SupremeCourtLive #SupremeCourtToday #USSupremeCourt #TheSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtCases #SupremeCourtDecision #SupremeCourtOpinions #SupremeCourtJudges #SupremeCourtJustices #SupremeCourtDecisions #TrumpCourt #SCOTUSRuling #SupremeCourtUpdate #SCOTUSLive #SupremeCourt2025 #BirthrightCitizenship #SupremeCourtDebate #SupremeCourtWatch #SCOTUSNews Also Read ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc It's Shocking Actually: SC On Madras HC's Arrest Order On Tamil Nadu Cop HM Jayaram :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/its-shocking-actually-sc-on-madras-hc-arrest-order-on-tamil-nadu-cop-hm-jayaram-4184815.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
