Introduction

On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court made two big decisions. These decisions give the US government more power to stop people from entering the country.

2026年6月25日，最高法院做出了兩項重大決定。這些決定賦予美國政府更多權力來阻止人們進入美國。

Main Body

The Court said people in Mexico are not inside the US. Because of this, the government can stop them from asking for help (asylum) at the border. Some judges think this is bad because people might cross the border illegally.

法院表示在墨西哥的人不屬於在美國境內。因此，政府可以阻止他們在邊境申請庇護。部分法官認為這樣並不妥，因為可能會導致人們非法越境。

Also, the Court said the government can take away special protection (TPS) from some people. Now, about 356,000 people from Haiti and Syria may have to leave the US. The government says this is the law.

此外，法院表示政府可以取消部分人的臨時保護狀態（TPS）。現在，約35萬6千名來自海地與敘利亞的人可能必須離開美國。政府表示這是法律規定。

Some leaders in Congress are worried. They think this will cause health problems for people. The government says they need strong walls and technology to stop bad groups at the border.

國會中部分領導人表示擔心。他們認為這將導致人們出現健康問題。政府則表示需要強而有力的圍牆與技術，以阻止邊境的危險組織。

Conclusion

The Supreme Court gave the President more power. Now, the courts cannot stop many of these immigration rules.

最高法院賦予了總統更多權力。現在，法院無法阻止許多這類移民規則。
