## Resource

Attorney Allen Orr analyzes upcoming Supreme Court cases regarding green card denials and the legality of ending TPS for certain populations. The discussion highlights the tension between executive enforcement and the constitutional role of the judiciary.

## Highlights
- Main idea: The Supreme Court will soon decide if green card holders can be denied entry based on criminal charges that have not yet been adjudicated
- Legal tension: A debate persists over whether the executive branch is attempting to bypass Congress to rewrite immigration rules via the judiciary
- Failure mode: The potential use of 'birth tourism' statistics to justify broad changes to birthright citizenship despite existing border enforcement rules
- Practical takeaway: Expect continued immigration enforcement through non-traditional methods like job site audits rather than street-level encounters
- Policy shift: Ongoing reviews of private detention center contracts aim to eliminate fraudulent or politically connected agreements
