(Moment Magazine)Opinion | What Americans—Especially Jews—Should Take Away from the Supreme Court’s Immigration Rulings

Release Date: 2026-07-01
Media: Moment Magazine
Summary: The article examines three recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on immigration and citizenship, arguing that they will have significant consequences for immigrants and the country’s humanitarian commitments.

The author welcomes the Court’s decision to preserve birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment, which blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to non-citizen parents. The ruling is described as an important protection against a major element of Trump’s immigration agenda.

However, the author strongly criticizes the Court’s other two rulings. One gives the president broad authority to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS), putting up to 1.3 million immigrants from countries such as Haiti and Syria at risk of deportation. The article argues that many TPS holders are productive workers whose removal would harm both families and the U.S. economy.

The second ruling allows immigration officials to prevent asylum seekers from entering the United States and therefore from applying for asylum. Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s dissent draws a parallel with the 1939 voyage of the MS St. Louis, whose Jewish refugees were denied refuge and many later died in the Holocaust. She argues that the decision undermines the humanitarian principles that shaped the modern asylum system after World War II.

Overall, the article concludes that while the preservation of birthright citizenship is a significant victory, the Court’s decisions on TPS and asylum weaken protections for vulnerable migrants and risk abandoning the humanitarian values established in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
